Synopsis

De Libris: Prose And Verse is a collection of essays and poems written by Austin Dobson, a British poet and essayist. The book is divided into two sections, with the first section consisting of essays on various literary topics, including book collecting, literary criticism, and the art of writing. The second section features Dobson's poetry, which is characterized by its wit, charm, and elegance.The essays in the first section cover a wide range of topics related to literature and writing. Dobson writes about the importance of book collecting and the joys of owning rare or unique books. He also offers insights into the art of literary criticism, discussing the qualities that make a great critic and the challenges of interpreting literary works. Other essays in this section explore the history of printing and publishing, the role of humor in literature, and the art of letter writing.The second section of the book contains Dobson's poetry, which is known for its lightness of touch and graceful language. His poems often draw inspiration from classical literature and mythology, as well as from everyday life and the natural world. Many of the poems in this section are short and playful, with a focus on wit and wordplay. Others are more contemplative, exploring themes of love, loss, and mortality.Overall, De Libris: Prose And Verse is a charming and insightful collection of essays and poetry that showcases Austin Dobson's talent as a writer and his deep love of literature.M. Rouquet's book is a rare duodecimo of some two hundred pages, bound in sheep, which, in the copy before us, has reached that particular stage of disintegration when the scarfskin, without much persuasion, peels away in long strips.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

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.
