Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is the most up-to-date and comprehensive biography of the renowned Scottish poet and playwright James Thomson (1700-1748), author of 'The Seasons' and 'Rule, Britannia!', as well as a tragic love story, 'Sophonisba'. The author has assembled a wealth of new information on Thomson's life and works, drawing not only on published sources, but also on unpublished letters, manuscripts and account books. This book provides an insightful account of Thomson's early career as a student and minister, and his later rise to fame as a literary figure in London. It offers a nuanced understanding of Thomson's literary circle, including his relationships with figures such as David Mallet, Allan Ramsay and Samuel Johnson, and a reassessment of his poetry in the context of Jacobite politics, Enlightenment thought, and Scottish national identity. 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 9781334490699_0
