Crystals From Sydenham (Classic Reprint): Or, What Modern Authors Say of the Palace - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Excerpt from Crystals From Sydenham
The lofty standard of excellence set up by Mr. Phillips, still the Editor trusts that his present readers will be more lenient in their judgment, and will satisfy him that he has not mistaken the taste of the literary world in presenting this little work to its notice. He fancies that he can trace in the style and sentiments of each paper a like ness to the writings of that particular author to whom the initials and motto would seem most significantly to point; and if his surmises are correct, the present volume embraces contributions from some of the most celebrated writers and characters of the day, and may not unreasonably be expected to unfold some of the brightest gems of modern literature. The Editor cannot (for family reasons) explain the precise manner in which the original manuscripts came into his possession, but he can solemnly assure the most scrupulous of his readers that he is committing not the slightest breach of confidence in giving to the world at the present time what, he has reason to believe, would very shortly have been published had the life of the former possessor been a little further prolonged.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of satirical writings by esteemed mid-19th-century authors, offering acerbic critiques of the Crystal Palace Exhibition and the social mores of the time. The Palace unveiled in 1851 was a marvel of engineering that showcased global industrial and cultural achievements. However, the author argues that beyond the spectacle, it symbolized the societal divisions, superficiality, and rampant commercialism of the era. The book's humor is sharp, and the insights into Victorian culture are insightful and timeless. These essays provide a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in history, capturing the tensions between progress and tradition, and the enduring struggles for equality and social justice. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330738795_0
