The Search for Good Sense: Four Eighteenth-Century Characters: Johnson, Chesterfield, Boswell and Goldsmith (History: Bloomsbury Academic Collections)

"Best known for his guide on writing and recognizing good prose, Style (1955), F.L. Lucas addresses four of the most popular 18th-century English poets and writers in this book: Samuel Johnson, Lord Chesterfield, James Boswell and Oliver Goldsmith. Knowledgeably, conversationally, and often amusing, he sketches the images of men who greatly influenced 18th century England and its literary landscape."--Bloomsbury Publishing Cover Half-title Title Copyright Dedication Preface Contents Introductory: The Eighteenth-Century Mind Johnson Lord Chesterfield Boswell Goldsmith Epilogue Index
