Sinopsis
Excerpt from Hours in a Library Series
It would be regrettable, could one stop to regret the one-sided and illogical construction of the human mind, that a fair judgment in such matters seems to require incompatible qualities. Your impartial critic or historian is generally a man who leaves out of account nothing but the essential. His impartiality means sympathy with the commonplace, and incapacity for understanding heroic faith and overpowering enthusiasm. He fancies that a man or a book can be judged by balancing a list.

Excerpt from Hours in a Library Series
A double parallel has often been pointed out between the two pairs of novelists who were most popular in the middle of our own and of the preceding century. The intellectual affinity which made Smollett the favourite author of Dickens is scarcely so close as that which commended Fielding to Thackeray. The resemblance between Pickwick and Humphrey Clinker, or between David Copperfield and Roderick Random, consists chiefly in the exuberance of animal spirits, the keen eye for external oddity, the consequent tendency to substitute caricature for portrait, and the vivid transformation of autobiography into ostensible fiction, which are characteristic of both authors. Between Fielding and Thackeray the resemblance is closer.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This incisive book delves into the literary and historical significance of the early 17th century English playwright, Philip Massinger. The author draws connections between Massinger's work and the social and political climate of his time and explores his preoccupation with moral issues. The book suggests that Massinger's preoccupation with morality reveals a profound understanding of the complexities of human nature, evident in his nuanced portrayal of both virtue and vice. It places Massinger's work within the broader context of Jacobean drama and highlights his unique contribution to the genre. Overall, the book demonstrates that Massinger's examination of moral themes provides timeless insights into the human condition and sheds light on the cultural landscape of his era.
