di Various Authors (Autore)

Good Press, 2021

The Idler is a collection of essays, originally published in the 18th century, that cover a diverse range of topics such as politics, society, literature, and personal reflections. The writing style is reflective and contemplative, often challenging conventional wisdom and societal norms. The essays are marked by their wit, humor, and insightful observations, making them a classic example of English literature from the period. This collection provides a valuable glimpse into the intellectual debates and cultural milieu of 18th-century England. Various Authors, the mysterious collective behind The Idler, were likely motivated by a desire to engage with and comment on the pressing issues of their time. The anonymity of the authors adds a sense of intrigue and allows the focus to remain solely on the content of the essays. Their collective voice offers a unique perspective on the society and culture of the era. I highly recommend The Idler to readers who are interested in exploring the intellectual landscape of 18th-century England. This collection of essays provides a rich and thought-provoking glimpse into the minds of the various authors who contributed to this timeless work.
