Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Early Victorian Literature That which in England is conveniently described as the Victorian Age of literature has a character of its own, at once brilliant, diverse, and complex. It is an age peculiarly difficult to label in a phrase; but its copious and versatile gifts will make it memorable in the history of modern civilisation. The Victorian Age, it is true, has no Shakespeare or Milton, no Bacon or Hume, no Fielding or Scott, - no supreme master in poetry, philosophy, or romance, whose work is incorporated with the thought of the world, who is destined to form epochs and to endure for centuries. Its genius is more scientific than literary, more historical than dramatic, greater in discovery than in abstract thought. In lyric poetry and in romance our age has names second only to the greatest; its researches into nature and history are at least equal to those of any previous epoch; and if it has not many great philosophers, it has developed the latest, most arduous, most important of all the sciences. This is the age of Sociology; its central achievement has been the revelation of social laws. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
