Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Jonathan Swift: The Leslie Stephen Lecture, Delivered Before the University of Cambridge, on 26 May 1917 When the University of Cambridge honoured me by inviting me to deliver the Leslie Stephen lecture, I thought I was in duty bound to go to the 18th century for my subject. For Leslie Stephen has made the 18th century his own by right of conquest. Nor was I deterred from choosing to speak of Jonathan Swift by the reflection, that I should take a view of him and his writings, which was not the view of Leslie Stephen, whom this lecture commemorates. If controversy be the athletics of literature, as I think it is, then Leslie Stephen was not of those who would have resented disagreement. For he was an athlete always - on the running path, on the High Alps, and in his study. Thus was I guided in the choice of my subject.
