The Social And Economic Background Of Goldsmith's Deserted Village, James R. Gray Mar 1961

The Social And Economic Background Of Goldsmith's Deserted Village, James R. Gray

Masters Theses

On May 26, 1770, Oliver Goldsmith's Deserted Village was published. This poem, which has been subjected to repeated attacks by those who claim that it contains more sentimentality than sense, is Goldsmith's best known, most often quoted, and most highly regarded work. Even when the poem is considered alongside such other familiar Goldsmith works as The Traveller (1784), The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), and She Stoops to Conquer (1773), it remains the single achievement that did more to enhance Goldsmith's reputation than all his other works combined.

English Radicalism And Political Reform In The Nineteenth Century: A Study In Applied Philosophy, Grace Rogers Mauzy

Masters Theses

Introduction

The face of England changed dramatically during the 19th century. Railway tracks seemed her agrarian greenness, mines pocked her highlands and the smoke-belching blemishes of Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham bulged into ugly prominence in her misdirection, casting a sooty pall that boded no good for her aristocratic tradition.
