About This Item
Australian National University Press, Canberra, 1968. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Good. Illustrator: Various. 850 g; XX, 328 pages, indexed, with list of subscribers, and illustrated with black-and-white plates (X), with black boards, and illustrated dust jacket. Slight age toning of the page edges, and ownership inscription on front end page, rubbing of the edges of the spine/front and rear panels, and rubbing with minor chipping to the top edge of the jacket. The papers brought together in this volume bear witness to the growing vigour and diversity of 18th-century studies. The seminar at which they were presented was held to honour the memory of a literary scholar, David Nichol Smith. It is therefore understandable and fitting that the majority of the contributions should be concerned primarily with literature. History, art, and philosophy, however, are also dealt with: and the collection as a whole offer is a widely ranging and illuminating survey of the period. -- front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
