Essays on the Drama


Book Description

Excerpt from Essays on the Drama: And on Popular Amusements M. Guizot's Essay upon the 'Life, Writings, and Age of Menander,' belongs to that order of 'studies' of classical antiquity in which Germany and France abound, but which are in little esteem at our own Universities. To this department the contributions of English scholars are few in number and inconsiderable in value. They have generally preferred the practical but somewhat dreary paths of pure philology, and left to foreigners the more attractive regions of biography and general criticism. Our periodical Journals occasionally present the reader with some excellent essays on ancient authors; but such lively and learned treatises as M. Guizot's are seldom, if ever, published under the auspices of the Pitt or the Clarendon press. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago.

It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.
