Omschrijving

The Idlers is a collection of essays written by Frederick Roberts and Henry Morley, originally published in 1906. The essays cover a range of topics, such as literature, history, philosophy, and social commentary. The authors take a leisurely, contemplative approach to these subjects, encouraging readers to slow down and appreciate the beauty and complexity of the world around them. Roberts and Morley were both prominent figures in the literary and academic circles of their time. Roberts was a professor of English literature at the University of Toronto, and Morley was a writer, editor, and professor of English literature at University College London. Their essays in The Idlers reflect their erudition and their love of learning, but they are also accessible and engaging for readers of all backgrounds.The essays in The Idlers are written in a conversational style, with a touch of humor and irony. Some of the topics covered include Shakespeare's plays, the history of the English language, the philosophy of Epicurus, and the joys of idleness. The authors also offer commentary on contemporary issues, such as the rise of industrialization and the decline of traditional values.Overall, The Idlers is a charming and thought-provoking collection of essays that invites readers to slow down and appreciate the world around them. It is a testament to the pleasures of learning and the joys of idleness, written by two of the most distinguished scholars of their time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
