Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eighteenth Century Studies These papers have been selected from the more literary pages of half-a-dozen volumes dealing in the main with the eighteenth-century themes, and issued during the last twenty years. The following lines, extracted from a rhymed introduction by the author prefixed to one of the above volumes, have been accepted as indicating, in general terms, the scope and limitations of the entire series: I don´t pretend to paint the vast And complex picture of the Past: Not mine the wars of humankind, ´The furious troops in battle join´d;´ Not mine the march, the counter-march, The trumpets, the triumphal arch. For detail, detail, most I care (Ce superflu, si necessaire !); I cultivate a private bent For episode, for incident; I take a page of Some One´s life His quarrel with his friend; his wife; His good or evil hap at Court; ´His habit as he lived´; his sport; The books he read, the trees he planted; The dinners that he ate - or wanted: As much, in short, as one may hope To cover with a microscope. These characteristics, it is believed, will not be found absent from the necessarily restricted samples here reproduced.
