Benson was the well-known son of a well-known father, two members of an unusual and high-achieving family. Their circle of acquaintance was wide, and seemed to have included most of the leading figures of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. As a result, E.F. Benson was able to write a memoir of these years, and of his father's life and his own early childhood, as a series of anecdotes and personal observations about the people he had known. These stories are interwoven with descriptions of the habits and customs of the earlier times, and an analysis of how attitudes had changed and why. And all with the sense of reflection revealed in the above passage, and an ability to illustrate each point with an apposite allusion. Continued ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

This anecdotal and supremely readable book contains deliciously sly observations of the great and the not-so-good. It covers the words and deeds of Victorians such as Prince Albert, Edward VII, Burne-Jones, and Queen Victoria along with Gladstone and Gosse. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
