Présentation de l'éditeur
In this study of the theory of shnplicity the way of Nature in the England of 1770, I have begun with an essay intended to set forth the general conviction that civi Usation had somehow or other failed of its goal was at least on the decline and that primitive man, in his savage or even animal state, was better ofl Fthan the citizens of Europe. The dream of a finer nation, conceived in simplicity and liberty, in which the arts, and particularly poetry, might flourish as in their native soil, is the subject of the paper on Corsica which forms the second essay. But simpheity is not of the future only. There must have been a time, far back in the diildhood of the nation, when untutored genius sang forth its passion unrestrained by the doctrines of the schools and the narrowing influence of caste; perhaps even now such bards may be found in some remote island. The third essay is therefore entitled Ancient Bard and Gentle Savage.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the popularity of the idea of a ânatural manâ in 18th-century England. The author traces this idea through the writings of philosophers such as Rousseau, who argued that civilization had corrupted human nature, and the popular fascination with the ânoble savageâ exemplified by figures such as Omai, a South Sea Islander who visited England in the 1770s. The book also examines how these ideas influenced the English fascination with the island of Corsica, which was seen as a potential utopia where a new, pristine societyâ"free from the corruptions of civilizationâ"could be built. This book provides a fascinating insight into a key idea in the intellectual history of the 18th century and shows how it shaped attitudes toward society, politics, and culture. 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 9781331474944_0
