Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lucasta Poems With an Introductory Note by William Lyon Phelps, Vol. 1 One can think of great writers, universally read, who have no personality; a convenient illustration is Daniel Defoe. And one can think of poets, whose Complete Works are known only to a select few, but whose personal influence is and always will be a living force. These are the Personalities of literature. A supreme example is Sir Philip Sidney, soldier, scholar, poet, courtier - the ideal gentleman. He is a historical but also a legendary figure; and it is not too much to say that he made large contributions to the British tradition of manliness, and that in our twentieth century world his spirit walks abroad. As Marvell was a lesser Milton, Lovelace was a lesser Sidney. The spacious times of Queen Elizabeth had their incarnation in Sidney; he was the climax of triumphant chivalry. Seventy years later, against the sunset of royalty, stands the romantic figure of Richard Lovelace, the Cavalier, as uncompromising as the dying Cyrano de Bergerac. He was not only a red-blooded, but a blue-blooded man coming from an ancient English family of Kent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
