Illustrations of the Literary History of the Eighteenth Century 8 Volume Set: Illustrations of the Literary History of the Eighteenth Century: ... Library Collection - Literary Studies)

The subtitle of this eight-volume set is Consisting of Authentic Memoirs and Original Letters of Eminent Persons, and Intended as a Sequel to the 'Literary Anecdotes', which had been published in nine volumes by the author, editor and publisher John Nichols (1745–1826) between 1812 and 1815, and are also reissued in this series. Like its predecessor set, these 'illustrations' are a useful source of biographical material on authors and publishers at a time when many of the literary genres we take for granted, such as the novel, the autobiography and the analytical history, were first being developed. The volumes were published between 1817 and 1858, the project being continued after Nichols' death by his son and grandson. Volume 3 focuses on the judge and writer George Hardinge (1743–1816) and his family, but also includes material on Samuel Pepys, Robert Burns and the botanist Richard Pulteney.
