Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the Reign, Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic, Vol. 1 "The History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic" was the first work to come from the pen of William Hickling Prescott. It was the result of more than ten years of labor. Conceived in January, 1826, it was published in the winter of 1837-38, when the author was almost forty-two years old. When Mr. Prescott, handicapped by his semi-blindness, determined upon a life of literary occupation, he laid out a course of study that was remarkably comprehensive in its character. What was yet more remarkable, he adhered, in all its essential particulars, to the course marked out. It began with the elements of composition, and was designed both to perfect his literary style and to make him thoroughly familiar with the history of North America. In order to determine the style and characteristics of each, he read a part at least of the works of almost all the principal English writers. He also devoted an hour each day to the study of the principal Latin authors, like Cicero, Livy, and Tacitus, in order to master their style and method. The English course having been completed, he turned next to the study of French, and then of Italian literature. German he had also planned to master, but the state of his eyes prevented him from making the attempt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
