| Sumario: | In this nine-volume work, published between 1812 & 1815, the author & publisher John Nichols provides biographical notes on publishers, writers & artists of the 18th century, & also gives 'an incidental view of the progress & advancement of literature in this kingdom during the last century'. His subjects range from the publisher William Bowyer to Henry Fielding & Horace Walpole, & also include histories of individual publishing houses & of genres such as lexicography. The work remains a useful source of biographical material on authors & publishers at a period when many of the literary genres we take for granted, such as the novel, the autobiography & the analytical history, were first being developed. As well as individual short biographies, Volume 1 contains a history of Bowyer's press from 1699 to 1731. |
