Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book consists of letters written by an 18th-century English poet, scholar, and Professor of Modern History. Combining sensibility with Augustan diction, his collected correspondence offers a unique look into the writer's life and work. The first section of the book comprises letters exchanged with his close companions that define his relationship with the natural world and society, while the second section includes letters showing how he developed his famous, innovative verse style. The third series of letters concerns personal loss and the evolution of his poetic vision; the fourth, his work as a historian and the process of creating his "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard." These collected letters provide critical insights into the creative mind of one of Britain's greatest poets.
