Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Tatler, Vol. 1 Before we discuss the merits of the work now more immediately coming under consideration, it will be proper to take a rapid survey of the state of literature in England, anterior to that great and sudden change in her government and dynasty, to which we still exultingly point, and justly hallow with the epithets of ´memorable and glorious.´ Indeed, if we omit this, we can pronounce but superficially and defectively upon writings, which have long stood alone for their classical elegance, and in many of their peculiar excellences are yet to this day unrivalled. Dr. Drake, in his admirable Essay on the Progress and Merits of English Style, divides his review of the language into three periods, extending from the year 1580, about the middle of the reign of Elizabeth, to the year 1714, ´when Addison had published his best productions.´ It is foreign to our scope to adopt this extended plan, or to follow him minutely through his subdivisions.
