Publisher's Synopsis
Memoirs Of The Life Of Right Honorable Richard Brinsley Sheridan V1 is a biographical book written by Thomas Moore. The book is a detailed account of the life of Richard Brinsley Sheridan, who was a prominent British playwright, politician, and orator of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The book covers his early life, education, career as a playwright, political career, and personal life, including his marriage to Elizabeth Linley. The book also delves into Sheridan's involvement in the French Revolution and his friendship with famous literary figures such as Samuel Johnson and Oliver Goldsmith. The book is an insightful and well-researched account of the life of one of the most influential figures of the 18th century.Mr. Sheridan was now approaching the summit of his dramatic fame;--he had already produced the best opera in the language, and there now remained for him the glory of writing also the best comedy. As this species of composition seems, more, perhaps, than any other, to require that knowledge of human nature and the world which experience alone can give, it seems not a little extraordinary that nearly all our first-rate comedies should have been the productions of very young men. Those of Congreve were all written before he was five-and-twenty.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
