Produktbeschreibung

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

Leslie Stephen (1832-1904) was an eminent English author, critic, and historian, best known for his contributions to the study of English literature and for his work as a biographer. An influential figure in the intellectual circles of his time, Stephen was the father of renowned writer Virginia Woolf and painter Vanessa Bell. His seminal work, 'English Literature and Society in the Eighteenth Century,' delves into the cultural and societal dynamics of the 1700s, reflecting his analytical acumen and his ability to contextualize literary movements within their historical framework. Stephen's scholarly pursuits extended beyond literature; he was also the first editor of the 'Dictionary of National Biography,' where he laid the foundation for what would become a crucial reference for biographical studies in the English-speaking world. Trained as a clergyman, Stephen eventually turned to literature and philosophy, contributing essays to various periodicals, including the 'Cornhill Magazine'. His literary style is distinguished by its clear, precise prose and his rationalist perspective, characteristics that have helped cement his status as a pivotal figure in Victorian literature and thought. Among his other highly regarded works include 'Hours in a Library' and 'History of English Thought in the Eighteenth Century,' both of which underpin his status as a scholar of remarkable breadth and depth. Stephen's intellectual legacy, including his critical examination of ethics, religion, and literature, continues to resonate within academic circles and beyond.
