| Editorial Review |
| First published posthumously in 1902, this collection of the lectures of American historian JOHN LORD (1810-1894) is a charming rummage through 6,000 years of European and American history, exploring the past from "the old pagan civilizations" to modern leaders and cultures on both sides of the Atlantic. This replica edition features all the original illustrations, hard to come by in other recent versions. It will delight both readers of history and lovers of beautiful, classic books. While Volumes 1 through 12 were Lord's work, this one was completed after his death from the author's notes. Volume XIII: "Great Writers" covers: • Rousseau: socialism and education • Sir Walter Scott: the modern novel • Lord Byron: poetic genius • Shakespeare (by Ralph Waldo Emerson) • John Milton: poet and patriot • Alfred (Lord) Tennyson: the spirit of modern poetry • and more |
