A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Professor was enjoying his vacation hugely. He was lying lazily at full length in the shade of an oak, his head resting on an armful of newly-mown hay, his knees towering aloft like miniature mountain-peaks, his eyes following the vagrant smoke from his cigar as it curled waywardly among the fluttering leaves, and his mind half-dreamily noting, through the openings in the branches overhead, the glintings of the white clouds that sailed silently across the blue sky. Whether it was from an innate love of mischief, or at the instigation of a certain nameless personage whose title figures largely in our common-law forms of criminal indictment, or because I was prompted by the sight of the bow so thoroughly unstrung, I will not take upon me to say; but certain it is, I yielded to the impulse to dart at the prone student the question, What is your idea of a sonnet? My dear boy, he replied, sleepily, but without hesitation, has it ever occurred to your matter-of-fact mind that a fool can ask a question that will gravel the wisest philosopher? Now, dont let your angry passions rise, as saith the divine Watts, he added, in answer to a quick flush on my cheeks; my question is only the inoffensive statement of a general proposition, and is far from being an assertion either that you are a fool or that I am a wise man. Doubtless, if the truth were told, neither of us is quite the one or the other.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
