A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Oliver Goldsmith lived in the middle of the Eighteenth Century, in Ireland and England, just at the time to witness the enormous changes in daily life brought by the Industrial Revolution, the flight to cities, and increasing impoverishment of the general population. Though over two hundred years have passed, the issue of prosperity vs. poverty remains.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Oliver Goldsmith's poem celebrates the simple life of rural villages or small towns, but laments the incursion of rich landowners who crowd out the vital peasant life. In addition, The Logicians Refuted is another short poem by Goldsmith, perhaps playfully challenging the "superiority" of humans over animals.
