Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of Walter Savage Landor: Edited With Introduction and Notes The first edition of John Forster´s Lie of Landor was published by Chapman and Hall, in two volumes, in 1869; in 1876, abridged, it formed the first volume of Forster´s eight-volume edition of The Works and Life of Walter Savage Landor; in 1895 the second edition was reprinted. In this biography is stored almost all the information of any consequence relating to Landor; and Forster´s is the standard text of the collected writings. The ample material in the biography is not especially well put together, nor is the appraisal always closely accurate. To a special student of the subject, however, the book is invaluable. Mr. Sidney Colvin´s Landor (English Men of Letters) gives as full an account as any one but a special student cares for. In his volume of Selections (Golden Treasury Series) he attains, by rare skill in choice and arrangement, and by means of a really luminous preface and notes, that high point of critical merit which entitles him to the commendation bestowed by Landor on one who praises an author "becomingly." Mr. Charles G. Crump´s comparatively recent variorum edition of the writings, with instructive critical notes, is based on Forster. In 1897 appeared Letters and Other Unpublished Writings of Walter Savage Landor, edited by Mr. Stephen Wheeler. The new material is not particularly important; but the editor´s work is done with such good taste and judgment that the book cannot fail to interest an admirer of Landor. It has a well-made bibliography. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
