Omschrijving

Jest and Earnest Volume 2 is a collection of essays and reviews written by George Webbe Dasent and published in 1873. The book is divided into two parts: the first part, Jest, contains humorous essays and anecdotes, while the second part, Earnest, contains more serious essays on topics such as literature, history, and philosophy. The essays in Jest cover a wide range of subjects, from the importance of good manners to the absurdity of certain social customs. Some of the essays are satirical in nature, poking fun at the pretensions of Victorian society. Others are more lighthearted, recounting amusing anecdotes and observations from Dasent's own life.The essays in Earnest are more scholarly in tone, but still accessible to the general reader. They cover a variety of topics, including the history of English literature, the philosophy of art, and the nature of human consciousness. Dasent's writing is clear and engaging, and he has a talent for making complex ideas understandable to the layperson.Overall, Jest and Earnest Volume 2 is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most prominent literary figures of the Victorian era. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of literature, philosophy, or social commentary.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
