Synopsis

Witty, sly meditations on fame, royalty, critics, and public life that sharpen while they entertain.

This collection surveys the way public figures are seen and judged, from emperors to novelists. It blends sharp humor with thoughtful consideration of how fame shapes character, power, and perception.

Across essays, the author playfully probes the motives of critics and the habits of readers, offering bright sketches, lively anecdotes, and clear-eyed observations about literature, culture, and public life.

• Bright, accessible takes on royalty, fame, and the public gaze
• Inventive anecdotes about critics, editors, and literary fashion
• Thoughtful reflections on the relationship between art, popularity, and judgment

Ideal for readers who enjoy polished, witty essays that mix judgment with humor and a keen eye for human foibles.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
