No previous anthology has succeeded in illustrating so thoroughly the kinds of verse actually written in the eighteenth century. The familiar tradition is fully represented by selections from such poets as Pope, Swift, Gray, Smart, Goldsmith, Cowper, Burns, and Blake. In addition, the anthology includes verse by many forgotten writers, both men and women, from all levels of society. Although they have never figured in conventional literary history, they wrote humorous, idiosyncratic, and graphic verse about their personal experience and the world around them, in a way that should challenge received ideas about the periods restraints and inhibitions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Roger Lonsdale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199560722\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199560721\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/07\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 914\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.61h x 5.90w x 1.65d","brand":"Roger Lonsdale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46024649605375,"sku":"9780199560721","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_077f36d3-bd0b-4156-a9e9-343334735078.jpg?v=1723128891","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-oxford-book-of-eighteenth-century-roger-lonsdale-9780199560721","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
