[EAN: 9781331428305], Nouveau livre, [SC: 11.29], [PU: Forgotten Books], HALES, This item is printed on demand. Paperback. 420 pages. Dimensions: 9.0in. x 6.0in. x 0.9in.Excerpt from Handbooks of English LiterarureThe period with which we are to deal in the present volume ranges from 1748 to 1798, thus including almost two generations, and more great names in our literature than any other Age included in this series. In some of its aspects, as an age in which continental travel was still a mark of distinction, or as the period of Waverley and Redgauntlet, it seems singularly remote; while in others it is strangely near to us, and, indeed, it is far from easy to realize that the present gracious occupant of the English throne is the granddaughter of George III. , whose reign, commencing in 1760, covers nearly the whole of our epoch. Two generations pass across the scene, yet there must have been not a few old men who, having witnessed the fall of Sir Robert Walpole, the great military successes of 1759, and the disasters and humiliations of 1781, lived on to see the signal triumph of British Conservatism in the Peninsular War, the overthrow of Napoleon, and the rise in the heavens of that brilliant literary constellation of which Scott and Byron, Wordsworth and Shelley, were luminaries. Horace Walpole himself, who had an interview as a child with George I. , lived down to 1797, and his Letters and Memoirs are a chronicle in brief of his time. In literary development, as in all the essential factors of civilization, the age was one of rapid and vigorous growth.
