Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Modern Art of Love: Or the Congress of Cythera This little tract was first published about the year 1744. It was intended by its author as a portrait of the manners, sentiments and practice of the three most learned and polite nations of Europe, viz. England, France and Italy in affairs of love and gallantry. A vein of delicate and concealed satire, in the manner of Horace, runs throughout the work; and the author has, in a pleasing stile of irony, exposed the peculiar follies and absurdities of the three nations. He paints in lively colours the excessive refinement, sentimental delicacy and romantic turn of thought of the Italian lovers; the vanity, inconstancy and levity of the French; and the earnest, sedate, philosophical disposition of the English.
