Excerpt from Essays
The readers of our Library are greatly indebted to Sir George Young for his kindness in presenting them with this first collected edition of the prose writings of his uncle, Winthrop Mackworth Praed. He little knows the charm of the bright regions of Literature who cannot yield himself to full enjoyment of their infinite variety. As we pass from book to book, it is a long leap from Euripides to the brilliant young Etonian who brought all the grace of happy youth into such work as we have here. Happy the old who can grow young again with this book in their hands. If we all came into the world mature, and there were no childhood and youth about us, what a dull world it would be! Any book is a prize that brings the fresh and cheerful voice of youth into the region of true Literature. Of Praed's work in this way none can speak better than Sir George Young in his Preface.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the rare and enduring essays of Winthrop Mackworth Praed, an Etonian writer of the 19th century. A prodigious writer, Praed's brilliant mind is indeed worthy of enjoying wider readership, a purpose that this compilation of his prose works aims to achieve. Elegantly penned, these essays cover a range of topics from education to satire and rhyme. At times, Praed indulges in whimsical musings, while also demonstrating a maturity of thought that is well beyond his years. The author's incredible range is such that he can shift effortlessly from a discussion on the practical application of bathos to an exploration of nicknames. Battling against pomposity and pretension, Praed's writing is characterised by its freshness, wit, and exuberance. Also evident in his style is a depth of thought that belies his age. In an age where there was much social stratification, Praed's egalitarian views are also striking. Witty, accessible, and erudite, this book gives the discerning reader an insightful glimpse into the Romantic era's literary landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
