1818 The Literary Character, Illustrated by the History of Men of Genius
What Our Customers Say...
Description
A new improved and expanded edition, originally published as 'An Essay on the Literary Character'.
Previously owned by A. N. L. Munby, an English librarian and an author of ghost stories.
Isaac D'Israeli's study on the notable literary figures and their qualities, examining their lives and experiences to explore what makes them successful. As explained in the preface to the work, the author wrote the original work in his youth and after finding a copy of his work with critiquing notes added to the margin, decided to re-write the work and add to it. The work also mentions particular prominent literary and intellectual figures such as Galileo, Newton, Bacon, Milton, and many more.
