Published by Farrar & Rinehart, 1930. "With its humor and its fancy and its wistfulness, [ Desert Islands ] is such a fountain of youth as no Ponce de Leon ever discovered." ? New York Times "A vast treasure chest?to dazzle and fascinate everyone who lifts the lid."?Geoffrey Grigson "One of those cabinets of curiosities," Michael McKeon writes in his new foreword, Desert Islands is "filled with randomly juxtaposed artifacts and devices rare and wonderful and far-flung, which long ago graced the homes of the Renaissance patriciate and then, in the hands of natural historians, became the model for the modern museum." Join Walter de la Mare as he surveys the world of islands (symbols of man's love of adventure and longing), both fictional and real, romantic and not?along with shipwrecks, castaways, and solitude; pirates, explorers, and treasure; Shakespeare, Swift, Columbus, Darwin, Utopia, England; and particularly (of course), Daniel Defoe and Robinson Crusoe. "One begins to fall under the spell, by way of Mr. De la Mare's fine sinuous prose and fanciful comments, of those distant places, those buccaneers' islands and remote wave-washed ocean rocks, by which he himself is so strongly fascinated." ? Spectator. "cloth wear, spine fading, edge rubbing, insides are clean, tight and very good" BX95. Rex Whistler (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: New. The essays in this 1987 volume are concerned with ideas of contrarity and other kinds of polar opposition in French literature of the eighteenth century. Originally these ideas were merely part of an impulse to undermine the establishment, but as the century progressed the desire to invert social values and question accepted norms merged with the main groundswell of the age to form part of the movement of Revolution. Professor Rex considers some of the major writers of the period: Diderot, Rousseau, Voltaire, and Beaumarchais. He also explores minor genres such as opéras comiques, theatrical parodies, and erotic or pornographic pieces; these have been largely forgotten, but in their time they imbued the creative life of the era with vitality. In treating the literature in relation to the other arts, especially painting and music, these essays will be of interest to scholars of all aspects of eighteenth-century French culture.…
