Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The Collected Letters of Oliver Goldsmith' offers an intimate and comprehensive look into the life and mind of one of the 18th century's most versatile and beloved literary figures. Known for his enduring contributions as a novelist, poet, and playwright, Oliver Goldsmith remains a central figure of the Augustan age. This collection, meticulously assembled to provide a clearer picture of his biography, brings together the personal correspondence of the man behind such masterpieces as 'The Vicar of Wakefield' and 'She Stoops to Conquer'.The letters within this volume provide invaluable insight into Goldsmith's personal struggles, his sharp wit, and his complex relationships with contemporary luminaries like Dr. Samuel Johnson, Edmund Burke, and Sir Joshua Reynolds. From his early travels across Europe to his later years navigating the competitive literary circles of London, these documents trace the trajectory of a career marked by both financial instability and immense creative achievement. The correspondence reveals the nuances of Goldsmith's character-his legendary generosity, his social anxieties, and his profound humanity. For scholars of English literature and admirers of Goldsmith's prose, this collection serves as an essential primary source, shedding light on the personal context of his enduring literary legacy.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
