Description

Enhance your understanding of literary classics with this Routledge Library Edition. Originally published in 1978, this book provides an intelligible historical place for 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, the text presents it as a living fabric of ideas and events that animate Augustan literature. Readers will explore how writers were affected by significant developments and the achievements of influential figures like Hume, Walpole, Chippendale, Newton, and Reynolds. This volume turns names often known only to students into active participants in the historical context that shaped 18th-century writing. It is an essential resource for anyone seeking a richer experience when reading the great literature of the era.
