English Literature and Society in the Eighteenth Century is a book that was originally a series of lectures delivered by Leslie Stephen in 1903 at Oxford University. The book explores the relationship between literature and society during the eighteenth century in England. Stephen examines the works of various writers and poets of the time, such as Samuel Johnson, Oliver Goldsmith, and Alexander Pope, and analyzes how their writings reflected the social and cultural climate of the period. He also discusses the emergence of the novel as a popular literary form and its impact on society. Additionally, Stephen delves into the political and economic changes that occurred during the eighteenth century and how they influenced literature. This book provides a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the literary and societal developments of the eighteenth century in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
