Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Matthew Prior The fact that Prior has never before been given a full-length biography might be urged as proof that such a book was unnecessary; nor can it be maintained that he was of those a knowledge of whose careers is essential. But although he was really great neither as a poet nor as a diplomatist nor as a statesman, the sum of his achievement in his various activities was considerable, and his life was full of interest. Above all he had a complex and in some ways fascinating personality, which is reflected in his letters. The line series of his correspondence published in recent years by the Historical MSS. Commission from the Marquess of Bath´s collection at Longleat, made it worth while and, it may even be suggested, desirable that this book should be written. My thanks are due to his Majesty´s Stationery Office for permission to quote from the reports of the Historical MSS. Commission, and to his Grace the Duke of Portland and the Most Honourable the Marquess of Bath for permission to examine and make use of unpublished papers in their possession. The debt to Mr. Austin Dobson of anyone who would write on Prior is almost too obvious to mention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
