The Poetical Works of Charles Churchill (LARGE PRINT EDITION)

Meer over het boek

Set in 1779, this collection features the works of Churchill, an English poet and satirist who initially pursued a religious life but found greater appeal in London's social scene. His acclaimed poem "The Rosciad" critiques contemporary actors and actresses, while "The Prophecy of Famine" offers sharp political commentary. Additionally, "An Epistle to William Hogarth" confronts the artist's portrayal of John Wilkes. The volume includes a biography of Churchill, who tragically passed away young while traveling to see Wilkes in Paris.
