The Victorian Age in Literature is an overview of the Victorian philosophical epoch as defined and described by one of the great writers of his age, G. K. Chesterton. He argues that the Victorians were dominated by compromise that promoting a spirit of progressive rationalism that imbued their work. He then goes on to give examples of paragons and exceptions to this rule. It's not the most scholarly of literary criticism forms but it has a great deal of heart and enthusiasm. For anyone with an interest in Victorian writers and ideas or a love of Chesterton. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

'I was born a Victorian; and sympathise not a little with the serious Victorian Spirit.' In this engaging and extremely personal account G K Chesterton expounds his views on Victorian literature. Many of his opinions reflect the conventions of the age; however of the Victorian novel he refreshingly comments 'it is an art in which women are quite beyond controversy'. Equally uncompromising about poets and poetry he does not hesitate to call Tennyson 'a provincial Virgil'. This book is an important landmark in our understanding of an age which produced some of Britain's most widely enjoyed literature. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
