Àííîòàöèÿ: This book deals with English writers of the 18th and the first half of the 19th Centuries, and explores some of the consequences, in literature, of the simultaneous elevation and isolation of the private individual which followed from the development of industrial capitalism. Beginning with Swift and Smollet, the essays examine in some detail the contrasting poetry of rural life by Gray, Goldsmith and Crabbe, the unique role of Wordsworth as poet not of nature alone but of human nature, and the romanticism of Coleridge, studies of the two great social writers, Jane Austin and George Eliot.

Àííîòàöèÿ: Although the following essays were produced at different times and in different circumstances, they share a common concern for the ways in which the rise of capitalism made itself felt in our literature.
