Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Hickling Prescott This volume makes no pretense of supplanting Ticknor´s "Life of Prescott." It aims simply to supplement it. Ticknor wrote the biography of his lifelong friend, possessed of ample materials; but he was already an old man; his view of society and literature, always severe, had deepened into something like austerity; and to bring out vividly the playful and engagingly human aspects of Prescott´s character would doubtless have seemed to him like taking liberties with the Muse of History. To complete and correct the picture of Prescott´s personality, while giving a condensed but connected account of his life and work, has been the sole task undertaken by the present writer.
