The Cultural Milieu of Addison's Literary Criticism (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781258322557)

The book ""The Cultural Milieu of Addison's Literary Criticism"" by Lee Andrew Eloiseff is an in-depth study of the literary criticism of Joseph Addison, an influential 18th-century English essayist, poet, and politician. The book explores the cultural and historical context in which Addison's literary works were produced and examines how his criticism reflects the social and political climate of his time.Eloiseff delves into Addison's essays, poems, and plays, analyzing the themes, style, and language used by the writer. The book explores Addison's views on literature, morality, and society, and how these views were shaped by the cultural and intellectual movements of his time, including the Enlightenment, the rise of the novel, and the emergence of the public sphere.The author also examines Addison's relationships with his contemporaries, including Alexander Pope and Richard Steele, and how their literary and political alliances influenced his work. Eloiseff argues that Addison's literary criticism was not only a reflection of his own personal beliefs and values but also a response to the changing cultural and political landscape of 18th-century England.Overall, ""The Cultural Milieu of Addison's Literary Criticism"" offers a fascinating insight into the life and work of one of England's most important literary figures and provides a valuable contribution to the study of 18th-century literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
