Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Literary History of England, Vol. 3 of 3: In the End of the Eighteenth and Beginning of the Nineteenth Century It is Talfourd, we think, in his Memorials of Charles Lamb, who compared the cheerful whist parties in those little rooms high up among the housetops of the Temple, where the brother and sister held their homely court, with the much more ambitious home of the muses, in the gorgeous and stately retirement of Holland House. Nothing could more clearly exemplify the difference between London bourgeois and literary, and London fashionable, elegant, and lettered. The former is poor and homely, and familiar in all its circumstances - the other, brilliant in external aspect, much farther reaching in its associations, and full of that involuntary consciousness of being the very best and finest development of society, which is only kept from the height of arrogance by being involuntary, and with no possibility of doubt or argument about it.
