A Vindication Of The Literary Character Of The Late Professor Porson From The Animadversions Of Thomas Burgess is a book written by Thomas Turton in 1827. The book aims to defend the literary character of the late Professor Richard Porson, who was a renowned classical scholar and critic, from the criticisms made by Thomas Burgess, who was the Bishop of Salisbury at that time. Turton argues that Burgess’s criticisms were unfounded and that Porson’s contributions to the field of classical scholarship were significant and worthy of recognition. The book provides a detailed analysis of Porson’s works, including his editions of Greek plays and his critical essays on various topics related to classical literature. Turton also discusses the controversy surrounding Porson’s personal life, including his struggles with alcoholism and his reputation as a controversial figure. The book ultimately seeks to establish Porson’s place as a respected and influential figure in the field of classical scholarship, despite the criticisms made by Burgess and others. Overall, A Vindication Of The Literary Character Of The Late Professor Porson From The Animadversions Of Thomas Burgess is a comprehensive and well-researched defense of Porson’s legacy and contributions to classical scholarship. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of classical literature and the lives of prominent scholars in this field.This Book Is In English.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
