Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Representative Essays: Comprising Twelve Unabridged Essays by Irving, Lamb, De Quincey, Emerson, Arnold, Morley, Lowell, Carlyle, Macaulay, Froude, Freeman, Gladstone
The present volume has been prepared with a view to bringing together representative essays by nineteenth-century masters of the essay form. It voices the opinions of different schools of thought, and each of its selections may fairly be called a document in English style. The variety and charm that characterize Representative Essays will, it is hoped, com mend it to the good graces of the general reader, while to teachers and students it cannot fail, of itself, to afford an Opportunity for the comparative study of the literary methods of a group of the best modern English prose stylists. It should be added that only complete essays are included here, and so the thoughts and arguments of each the several.
