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

John Campbell Shairp (July 30, 1819 - September 18, 1885) was a Scottish critic, poet, and educator, regarded for his insightful literary critiques and biographical studies of eminent poets. Born in Houston House, Linlithgowshire, Shairp was educated at the Edinburgh Academy and Glasgow University, later attending Balliol College, Oxford. His career at Oxford culminated in his appointment as Principal of United College, St Andrews, where he also served as Professor of Poetry. Shairp's literary contributions are marked by a blend of philosophical reflection and a deep appreciation for nature, prominently featured in his prose and poetic works. His scholarly pursuits led to the publication of 'Robert Burns' (1879), a detailed exegesis of the celebrated Scottish poet's life and works. The biography provides not only historical context but also critical analyses, capturing the nationalistic fervor and lyrical prowess of Burns' poetry. Shairp's studious approach to literature, grounded in moral and cultural values, positioned him as a central figure in 19th-century literary criticism. His articulate and educational prose reflects a literary style steeped in romanticism, offering readers a thoughtful exploration of character and landscape in literary creation. Through his critical and biographical writings, John Campbell Shairp left a lasting impact on the scholarship of poetry and its nexus with cultural identity.
