Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern English Prose Writers: With the Compliments of the Author It is time to take a review of the century. Periods of history are not usually confined within even and symmetrical dates, but the present era clearly began with the appointment of Napoleon as sole consul in the year 1800. How much longer it will last no wise person will predict, but the present decade seems so quiet and uneventful, that it reminds one of those periods of uncertain weather which precede the gathering of a storm. It has been an era of scientific discoveries, commercial enterprise, and mechanical inventions. The century has also witnessed terrific political convulsions; and it has given birth to a literature distinguished for its originality, its delicacy, and boldness of expression. A review of what has been accomplished since the year 1800, could not be condensed into one volume, or perhaps into twenty. Every department of art, science, and literature, as well as politics, economics, etc., would have to be represented. The results of science and economics can be abbreviated: not so with literature and art. Here a full statement is essential to a just understanding of the subject. Criticism itself is literature, and amenable to the laws of prose composition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
