Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of Sir Richard Steele, Vol. 1: Soldier, Dramatist, Essayist, and Patriot, With His Correspondence, and Notices of His Contemporaries, the Wits and Statesmen of Queen Anne´s Time "See nations slowly wise, and meanly just. To buried merit raise the tardy bust." - Johnson. The present work is something of an experiment. It is an attempt to reproduce in some form, however slight and imperfect, the age of Queen Anne through the medium of a life of Steele, who was perhaps more variously mixed up with the men and the times than any other person of that era. Two or three names - Prior, St John, Atterbury, Arbuthnot, and Defoe - have necessarily been omitted, as no fair opportunity occurred, without going out of the way, of noticing them, except in incidental allusions. How far the plan or execution may be deserving of approval must be left to readers and critics to determine.
