The Victorian Age in Literature

Elektronická kniha The Victorian Age in Literature:Most books of literary criticism are written long after their age has passed, but a rare few are written during their time - and G. K. Chestertons The Victorian Age in Literature is one of them. Born during the Victorian era, Chesterton gives an incredible insight into Victorian literature as it was perceived at the end of the 19th century. His witty accounts shine a light on the classic works of Dickens, Austen, and the Brontës, as well as leading poets of the period, from Tennyson to Browning. His discussion ranges from the politics of the day to the birth of radical philosophies and revelations within the sciences. Chestertons work is a refreshingly personal look into the Victorian mind and an invaluable resource for any student of literary history.-
