Originally published in 1931, this book contains a number of
selections from the prose writings of William Morris. The extracts
come from Morris' fiction publications as well as his more
well-known opinions on art and design. This book will be of value
for anyone interested in an overview of Morris' prose output or
late nineteenth-century English writing more generally.
Originally published in 1930, this book contains a series of
extracts from Thomas Carlyle's influential three-volume work The
French Revolution: A History (1837). The text was compiled with the
intention of providing a 'representation both of Carlyle's
delineation of the Revolution, and of his poetic scheme of
history.' Continuity of narrative is ensured through the use of
short explanatory link passages which are inserted between
extracts. A detailed editorial introduction is also included, with
information on the text, Carlyle's life and his conception of
history. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in
Carlyle's writings and perspectives on the French Revolution.
Originally published in 1929, this book presents a selection of
Thomas Carlyle's writings, aiming 'to collect and arrange the
passages most representative of Carlyle's contribution to culture
and to thought, particularly in the spheres of Literary Criticism,
Philosophy, Political Economy, and History.' A detailed editorial
introduction is also included, with information on Carlyle's life
and intellectual views. This book will be of value to anyone with
an interest in Thomas Carlyle and his works.
First published in 1928, this book gathers together a selection of
John Ruskin's relatively neglected writings on literature and
aesthetics. As noted in the textual preface, 'The attention which
has been given to Ruskin's other subjects makes the neglect of this
branch of his work more striking, for there is here much of
permanent value. Interesting themes, original treatment, suggestive
ideas which warm and stimulate the mind, are set out in a more
easily readable form than is usual in Ruskin's works.' This book
will be of value to anyone with an interest in Ruskin and literary
criticism.
