   None No current Talk conversations about this book. 1   leslie.98 | Jun 27, 2023 |   Still, it does treat, as does Mansfield Park, the very real problems that exist when one's wealth and position lead them to bend moral laws to their own venal pursuits. Once again, we see a facet of the absolute evil inherited wealth regularly sponsors. (  )1 lgpiper | Jun 21, 2019 |  ) john257hopper | Jul 16, 2017 | I downloaded this from Project Gutenberg because I am rereading Mansfield Park and this is the play that Tom Bertram and the others decide to put on. Jane Austin's contemporary readers would have been familiar with the play but the scene in which Maria and Julia argue about who will play Agatha was a bit unclear to me. So glad I decided to take the time to read this! ( ) leslie.98 | Aug 29, 2015 | The epilogue (in rhyme) seems like a Georgian equivalent of the newsreel: ...So, of course, then, if prose is so tedious a crime, It of consequence follows, there's virtue in rhime. The best piece of prose that I've heard a long while, Is what gallant Nelson has sent from THE NILE. And had he but told us the story in rhime, What a thing 'twou'd be; but, perhaps, he'd no time. So, I'll do it myself—Oh! 'tis glorious news! Nine sail of the line! Just a ship for each Muse. As I live, there's an end of the French and their navy-- Sir John Warren has sent the Brest fleet to Old Davy. 'Tis in the Gazette, and that, every one knows, Is sure to be truth, tho' 'tis written in prose. Recommended mainly for readers who want to explore Jane Austen's use of this drama in Mansfield Park.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The eighteenth-century fascination with Greek and Roman antiquity followed the systematic excavation of the ruins at Pompeii and Herculaneum in southern Italy; and after 1750 a neoclassical style dominated all artistic fields. The titles here trace developments in mostly English-language works on painting, sculpture, architecture, music, theater, and other disciplines. Instructional works on musical instruments, catalogs of art objects, comic operas, and more are also included. ++++The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
