Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Men, Women, and Minxes The essays in this volume, reprinted from various sources and revised, deal with a variety of subjects; with Richardson´s Morals and Manners, with Rousseau´s Ideal Household, with Minxes and Poseuses French and English, with a contrast to them in the austere theories of the creator of The Fairchild Family, with Grimm, the great Paris gossip of the eighteenth century, and with the Women of Colonial America. The fallacies of great poets in their descriptions of landscapes - Sir Walter Scott being strangely Turneresque - are criticised. The essays on Art deal with the ingenious forgeries successfully foisted on learned collectors, and with Art as represented in rural light. Among critics criticised is Paul de Saint Victor, the man admired by Victor Hugo; and the modern literary man is portrayed as he is apt to appear in the eyes of his wife. Home Life during the Great Rebellion is described, and there are essays on Scottish Domestic Manners - Lowland and Highland - in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, with other social studies. Anecdotes and entertainment, rather than severe speculations, historical and social, are the farrago libelli - the burden of the book.
