Evan Evan said: " This is something of a biography organized into chronological chapters around her major books. Thus, it is not so much a linear narrative of her life as a thematic biography loosely structured around each work. An appropriate companion to my current ...more "

A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the S... by Edmund Burke
Rate this book
Clear rating
Though slim and succinct (and thus potentially beautiful, but likely not sublime), Burke's 1757 study re-orients Longinus (and closer contemporaries such as Addison) in a work on aesthetics that strongly anticipates romanticism while still banging it ...more

Clear rating
A less satisfying experience than Pantagruel for a modern reader. Gargantua depends far more than its predecessor on arcane jokes about contemporaneous clerical life. The characters, including Gargantua himself, are considerably less vivid, less outr ...more
