Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In 'Chesterfield and His Critics', Roger Coxon provides a comprehensive and scholarly examination of the life, character, and literary legacy of Philip Stanhope, the 4th Earl of Chesterfield. Best known for his famous 'Letters to His Son', Chesterfield has often been the subject of polarized opinions, frequently overshadowed by the biting criticisms of his contemporaries, most notably Samuel Johnson. Coxon seeks to re-evaluate these historical assessments, offering a more nuanced perspective on a man often mischaracterized as a mere tutor of superficial manners.
