Maggiori informazioni sul libro
This book is a remarkable resource, offering a wealth of historical insights and a vivid portrayal of life during the Victorian era. The new edition retains all original text, including previously missing or unreadable pages from other reprints. Obvious errors from the original printing have been corrected, such as the confusion surrounding 'Braham the terror' and the elusive '47'. Unlike other versions, this edition has been meticulously retyped and verified paragraph by paragraph. Some songs and poems have been expanded to their full versions, enhancing the reading experience. The goal of this edition is to serve as a reference for the Victorian language. While the original text may seem arcane to modern readers, filled with references to events and figures known to the educated individuals of the time, this edition aims to bridge that gap. The author originally targeted well-read gentlemen familiar with Latin, French, and contemporary literature. To aid modern readers, hundreds of Publisher's Notes have been included, providing explanations of obscure words, translations of foreign terms, and brief biographies of mentioned individuals. These additions enhance the usability of this classic work, making it more enjoyable and enlightening for today's audience.
