Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Poets and Peoples of Foreign Lands ´The use of foreign literature,´ wrote Mr. Bagehot some thirty years ago, ´is like the use of foreign travel. It imprints on us ... a deep impression of great and strange and noble objects.´ There have been great modifications in the conditions of foreign travel since these words were written. The practical development of steam and electricity, joined to the business energy of Messrs. Cook, have brought within reach of those whose incomes are slender the impressions of ´great and noble´ objects alluded to; but the ´strange´ are daily growing more difficult to find. Everything abroad is tinctured with cosmopolitanism. We seem like snails to take our homes about with us wherever we go. Nowhere can we flee from the face of our fellow-countrymen.
