Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'William Gifford' by Roy Benjamin Clark offers a comprehensive biographical and critical study of one of the most influential and feared figures in early nineteenth-century English letters. As the first editor of the powerful 'Quarterly Review', Gifford wielded immense authority over the li…terary landscape of the Romantic era, shaping public taste and directing the fortunes of contemporary writers through his sharp and often controversial critiques.This scholarly work delves into Gifford's remarkable journey from his humble beginnings and struggles as an impoverished orphan to his ascent as a dominant voice in London's intellectual circles. Clark meticulously examines Gifford's contributions as a poet, particularly his noted satires 'The Baviad' and 'The Maeviad', which targeted the perceived trivialities of the Della Cruscan school of poetry. Furthermore, the text explores his significant role as a translator of Juvenal and his editorial influence on the works of early English dramatists.Through detailed analysis, Clark situates Gifford within the political and social context of his time, highlighting his staunch Tory principles and his interactions with major literary figures like Lord Byron and George Canning. This book serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of journalism, the development of literary criticism, and the vibrant cultural life of the late Georgian period.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu.

As the first editor of 'The Quarterly Review' and a formidable satiris…t, William Gifford wielded significant power over the literary landscape of his era. This study by Roy Benjamin Clark delves into Gifford's humble beginnings and his rise to prominence as a fierce defender of Tory values and classical literary standards.The work explores Gifford's role as a sharp-tongued critic and his interactions with contemporary literary giants, including the Romantic poets. It provides an in-depth analysis of his major satirical works, such as 'The Baviad' and 'The Maeviad', which targeted the Della Cruscan school of poetry. By examining his editorial tenure and his uncompromising critical style, Clark sheds light on the socio-political undercurrents that shaped English literary discourse during the Regency period. This volume serves as an essential resource for students of literary history, offering a detailed portrait of a man who was both feared and respected for his intellectual rigor and political convictions.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
