Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Scene, in the Eighteenth Century In one of his later essays Sir Leslie Stephen complained that too much value is placed on the publication of minute new facts relating to the history of the eighteenth century. The aim of students of the society of that age should be, he went on to say, to systemize the materials which are already in existence; in other words, to form a clear and general view of the age. His last work, "English Literature and Society in the Eighteenth Century," is an admirable example of the practical performance of a theoretical precept. The object of this book is to follow - however imperfectly - the same ideal, and to present to the reader some of the more important and characteristic aspects of England in the eighteenth century. These aspects, whether of places or of people, we must realize if we would form an accurate mental picture of the scene, and obtain its proper value from the mass of data which have from time to time been made available to those interested in this epoch. Anatole France somewhere says that poets tell us what we vaguely think. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
