The outlook of writers in the eighteenth century was profoundly
influenced by the social and intellectual interests of Augustan
life. Originally published in 1954, this book aims to describe that
influence, and to set the literature of the period in its social
environment with a critical attention. The treatment is compact but
readable, and effective use is made of quotations from contemporary
literature.

First published in 1937 by Arthur Raleigh Humphreys, this four-part
volume traces the life of the English poet William Shenstone (1714
1763) from his birth in Halesowen, Shropshire to his death at the
famous estate, The Leasowes. Through a detailed examination of
Shenstone's poetical works and personal correspondence, Professor
Humphreys assembles a vivid sketch of his life and character while
also setting right some of the damages of neglect done to his
literary legacy. This work remains one of the few reliable studies
of a poet on whom too little scholarship exists.
