Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Goldsmith's The Deserted Village, The Traveler, Gray's Elegy In A Country Churchyard is a collection of three poems by Oliver Goldsmith and Thomas Gray. The first poem, The Deserted Village, is a nostalgic depiction of a rural village that has been abandoned by its residents due to the encroachment of industry and urbanization. The second poem, The Traveler, is a philosophical meditation on the nature of travel and the human condition. The third poem, Gray's Elegy In A Country Churchyard, is a melancholic reflection on the transience of life and the inevitability of death. Published in 1916, this collection is a classic example of 18th-century English poetry, characterized by its sentimentalism, pastoral imagery, and moralizing themes. Goldsmith and Gray were both prominent figures in the literary scene of their time, and their works continue to be studied and appreciated by scholars and readers alike. Goldsmith's The Deserted Village, The Traveler, Gray's Elegy In A Country Churchyard is a must-read for anyone interested in English poetry, history, and culture. It offers a glimpse into the social and political issues of the 18th century, as well as the philosophical and artistic concerns of its writers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
