From the present Age of Rationalisation Professor Hope directs his sharp, ironic, but always affectionate gaze towards the 18th century. Dubbed the Age of Reason but, in much of its boisterous detail neither rational, urbane nor enlightened, it is one of his favourite periods of history. He describes these 11 narrative poems as being "chosen mainly for amusement or irony, mostly related to actual persons and events, but treated with a certain degree of fantasy". They are set in the 18th century and written in the than most favoured form -- the heroic couplet. -- front fold over blurb Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Please refer to accompanying picture (s).
