Description

Enhance your understanding of literary classics with this Routledge Library Edition. Originally published in 1978, this book provides an intelligible place in history for essential works such as Gulliver's Travels, Robinson Crusoe, Tom Jones, The Beggar's Opera, and Tristram Shandy. Rather than treating history as a vague background, this text presents the context as a living fabric of ideas and events that animate Augustan literature. It connects the dots between literary figures and the influential men of the era, including Hume, Walpole, Chippendale, Newton, and Reynolds. By showing how writers were affected by the world around them, this book helps students and readers turn a standard reading into a much richer experience. It is an essential resource for anyone looking to grasp the historical forces that shaped 18th-century writing.
