Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Popular Manual of English Literature, Vol. 2 of 2: Containing Outlines of the Literature of France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United States of America With Historical, Scientific, and Art Notes Dr. Samuel Johnson not only represented the literature of the forty years succeeding the death of Pope, but also ruled over it as king. Of his death, in 1784, Craik says, "It was not only the end of a reign, but the end of kingship altogether in our literary system. For King Samuel has had no successor; nobody since his day, and that of his contemporary Voltaire, has sat on a throne of Literature, either in England or in France." These years, known in literature as the Johnsonian Age, are the transition between those widely different epochs - the placid, unruffled, Classical Age and the tumultuous Age of Revolution. It was essentially an Age of Prose. English Sovereigns. (George II., -1760. [House of Brunswick.] (George III., 1760- Culmination Of Classical Prose. - Dr. Johnson. As classical poetry attained its highest development under Pope, so did classical prose under Dr. Johnson. "His phraseology rolls ever in solemn and majestic periods, in which every substantive marches ceremoniously, accompanied by its epithet; grand, pompous words peal like an organ; every proposition is set forth, balanced by a proposition of equal length; thought is developed with the compassed regularity and official splendor of a procession. Art cannot be more finished, or nature more forced." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
