Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'William Gifford' by Roy Benjamin Clark offers a comprehensive biographical and critical study of one of the most influential and feared figures in early nineteenth-century English letters. As the first editor of the powerful 'Quarterly Review', Gifford wielded immense authority over the lite…rary landscape of the Romantic era, shaping public taste and directing the fortunes of contemporary writers through his sharp and often controversial critiques.This scholarly work delves into Gifford's remarkable journey from his humble beginnings and struggles as an impoverished orphan to his ascent as a dominant voice in London's intellectual circles. Clark meticulously examines Gifford's contributions as a poet, particularly his noted satires 'The Baviad' and 'The Maeviad', which targeted the perceived trivialities of the Della Cruscan school of poetry. Furthermore, the text explores his significant role as a translator of Juvenal and his editorial influence on the works of early English dramatists.Through detailed analysis, Clark situates Gifford within the political and social context of his time, highlighting his staunch Tory principles and his interactions with major literary figures like Lord Byron and George Canning. This book serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of journalism, the development of literary criticism, and the vibrant cultural life of the late Georgian period.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
