A Select Collection of Original Letters (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of 18th-century letters from various prominent British people. The letters explore 18th-century British society, politics, and culture. Some of the key themes that emerge from the letters include the rise of consumerism and luxury goods, travel as a status symbol, and the desire for social status. For instance, there is a letter by Horace Walpole critiquing his nieceâs love affair with a man of inferior status. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, who wrote extensively on her travels through the Ottoman Empire, details her experience encountering a woman who received a divorce after suffering years of abuse from her husband, a radical concept at the time. The author provides context for each letter, placing it within the broader historical and literary context of the time. These letters offer unique insights into the minds and hearts of 18th-century Britons. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Codice articolo 9781333263195_0
