Description
""Biographical Essays"" is a collection of essays written by Thomas De Quincey, a prominent English essayist and literary critic of the 19th century. The book contains a series of biographical sketches of famous figures, including William Wordsworth, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and Robert Southey. Each essay provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the individual's life and work, with a focus on their literary achievements and contributions to the Romantic movement in literature. De Quincey's writing is characterized by his eloquent prose and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects, making this book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the lives and works of these influential writers.There is in modern literature a whole class of writers, though not a large one, standing within the same category; some marked originality of character in the writer become a coefficient with what he says to a common result; you must sympathize with this personality in the author before you can appreciate the most significant parts of his views. In most books the writer figures as a mere abstraction, without sex or age or local station, whom the reader banishes from his thoughts. What is written seems to proceed from a blank intellect, not from a man clothed with fleshly peculiarities and differences.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
