Books and Men is a collection of essays written by the American essayist Agnes Repplier. The book was first published in 1888 and has since become a classic in the field of literary criticism. In this collection, Repplier explores the relationship between books and men, examining the impact that literature has on society and individuals. The essays cover a range of topics, from the role of humor in literature to the value of reading as a form of education. Repplier also delves into the lives of some of the most famous writers of her time, including William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, and Jane Austen. Throughout the book, Repplier’s writing is characterized by her wit, intelligence, and deep love of literature. She argues that books are not just a form of entertainment, but are essential to our understanding of the world around us. Books and Men is a must-read for anyone interested in the power of literature and the ways in which it shapes our lives. It is a timeless work that continues to inspire readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
