Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Doctor Johnson and Mrs. Thrale: Including Mrs. Thrale´s Unpublished Journal of the Welsh Tour Made in 1774 and Much Hitherto Unpublished Correspondence of the Streatham Coterie The origin and aim of the present book are fully explained both in its first chapter and the admirable Introductory Essay of Mr. Thomas Seccombe, who, like myself, feels very strongly that the time has arrived when some attempt should be made to do justice to the memory of Mrs. Thrale-Piozzi. The appearance of the present volume follows closely on the erection of a memorial to this much-maligned lady in the modest church of Tremeirchion, where, in accordance with her will, she was buried with her second husband, Gabriel Piozzi, and coincides approximately with the successful celebration at Lichfield of the bicentenary of the birth of Samuel Johnson, who, for twenty years, played an all-important part in her daily life and with whose career history will always associate her. The Welsh Journal written by her in 1774 is eminently characteristic of its author. It will be judged on its merits. The correct rendering of Welsh proper names is always a matter of considerable difficulty, and some inaccuracies in this respect have doubtless crept into the diaries of both Mrs. Thrale and her illustrious fellow-traveller.
