This collection features six short biographies of influential literary figures: John Milton, Jonathan Swift, David Hume, Lord Macaulay, Richard Cobden, and R.L. Stevenson. Originally published in 1933, it offers insights into their lives and contributions to literature. Obscure Press aims to make these classic works accessible by republishing them in high-quality, modern editions while preserving the original text and artwork, addressing the scarcity and rising costs of early 20th-century literature.
