Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Works of the Rev. George Crabbe, Vol. 4 of 5 [The "Tales of the Hall" were first published in June 1819, by Mr. Murray, who gave for them, and the copyright of the author´s previous works, the sum of three thousand pounds. The reader will find some interesting particulars respecting this purchase, in a letter by Mr. Moore, printed in the first volume of the present collection (pp. 265-6-7.). These "Tales" occupied Mr. Crabbe during the years 1817 and 1818; and it appears, from a letter to Mrs. Leadbeater, dated 30th October, 1817, that he originally designed to put them forth under another title. - "I know not," he writes, "how to describe the new, and probably (most probably) the last work I shall publish. My friends decided that ´Remembrances´ should be the title. Though a village is the scene of meeting between my two principal characters, and gives occasion to other characters and relations in general, yet I no more describe the manners of village inhabitants. My people are of superior classes, though not the most elevated; and, with a few exceptions, are of educated and cultivated minds and habits. I do not know, on a general view, whether my tragic or lighter Tales, &c., are most in number. Of those equally well executed, the tragic will, I suppose, make the greater impression; but I know not that it requires more attention." - The title, under which the Tales eventually appeared, was suggested by Mr. Murray; and the reception of the work was highly favourable. - E.] About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
