The British Apollo, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of the British Apollo magazine from its inception up to its later years of publication. It chronicles not only the evolution of the magazine but also the broader social, political, and cultural landscape of 18th century Britain that it both reflected and helped to shape. The author deftly places the Apollo within the history of British periodical literature, examining its connections to other important publications of the day, such as The Spectator and The Tatler. By drawing on a diverse body of evidence, including the original editions of the magazine itself, the author reconstructs the Apollo's editorial strategy, its evolving relationship with readers, and its ongoing battle against censorship. This study not only sheds significant new light on a hitherto overlooked publication but also raises larger questions about the role of periodical literature in 18th century Britain. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333705039_0
