Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book traces the life and literary career of Walter Savage Landor, tracing the evolution of a writer whose work defies easy categorisation. Although he was born into a wealthy family in the 18th century, his rebellious nature saw him clash repeatedly with social expectations. However, his provocative views, often expressed with equal passion and arrogance, also provided the inspiration for some of Britain's finest poetry and prose. Landor embarked on political activism and military service before turning his attention to literature, and his varied life experiences fed into his writing, which was imbued with a powerful classical sensibility. Engaging with themes of love, revolution, and liberty, Landor's writing attracted praise from his contemporaries, including Southey and Wordsworth, but was often too daring or idiosyncratic for the tastes of the day. This detailed biography reveals the contradictions of a deeply passionate, utterly independent spirit, and sheds new light on a challenging, brilliantly original writer. 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 9781334503443_0
