A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This volume covers the works of Thomas Paine, William Godwin, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley, and Percy Shelley. "The history of the French Revolution in England begins with a sermon and ends with a poem. Between that famous discourse by Dr. Richard Price on the love of our country, delivered in the first excitement that followed the fall of the Bastille, and the publication of Shelley's 'Hellas' there stretched a period of thirty-two years. It covered the dawn, the clouding and the unearthly sunset of a hope. It begins with the grave but enthusiastic prose of a divine justly respected by earnest men, who with a limited horizon fulfilled their daily duties in the city. It ends in the rapt vision, the magical music of a singer, who seemed as he sang to soar beyond the range of human ears." --H.N. Brailsford

Biographie de l'auteur

Henry Noel Brailsford (1873 – 1958) was the most prolific British left-wing journalist of the first half of the 20th century. The son of a Methodist preacher, he was born in Yorkshire and educated in Scotland, at the High School of Dundee. He abandoned an academic career to become a journalist, rising to prominence in the 1890s as a foreign correspondent for the Manchester Guardian, specialising in the Balkans, France and Egypt.
