The Salon and English Letters: Chapters on the Interrelations of Literature and Society, in the Age of Johnson (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book traces the origins of the French literary salon and its later influence on English literary culture. The salons first emerged during the Italian Renaissance and provided a critical and creative space for literary works to be discussed among philosophers, artists, and writers. This book follows the evolution of the salon through its various iterations, from the courts of the Italian aristocracy to the literary elite of eighteenth-century Paris, before ultimately examining its impact on English letters and society. The volume underscores the importance of the salon as a space for the exchange of ideas and the fostering of artistic creativity. By examining the ways in which key literary figures interacted within these social spaces, the author demonstrates how the salon helped to shape the literature of the period and to define new possibilities for artistic expression.
