Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From Steele´s Contributions to the Tatler: With an Introduction and Notes It has been the curious fate of at least three men, whose greatness is associated with the eighteenth century, to have had their memories undeservedly injured through the hostility, the mistakes, or the supercilious regard of a succession of more or less adverse critics; and it has been the good fortune of some writers of our own day to be in a position, with fuller knowledge to hand, to vindicate their characters, or greatly to modify the harsh opinions we had been led to form of them, through the carelessness, or something worse, of previous biographers. Of these three, Richard Steele is one; and as to the two others, we now know that Richard Brinsley Sheridan was not quite so contemptible in life and end as we had thought, and that the moral obliquity of Warren Hastings existed in the biased imagination of Lord Macaulay. Strangely enough it is from Lord Macaulay´s mischievous picturesqueness that Steele also has suffered; but not perhaps to so great an extent from this, as from the pitying affection with which Thackeray regards him.
