Book Description
Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 5 of 5 Miss Burney did for the English novel what Jeremy Collier did for the English drama; and she did it in a better way. She first showed that a tale might be written in which both the fashionable and the vulgar life of London might be exhibited with great force, and with broad comic humour, and which yet should not contain a single line inconsistent with rigid morality, or even with virgin delicacy. She took away the reproach which lay on a most useful and delightful species of composition. She vindicated the right of her sex to an equal share in a fair and noble province of letters. Several aecom plished women have followed in her track. At present, the povels which we owe to English ladies form no small part of the literary glory of our country. No class of works is more honourably distinguished by fine observation, by grace, by delicate wit, by pure moral feeling. Several among the s cessors of Madame d'arblay have equalled her; two, we think, have surpassed her. But the fact that she has been surpassed gives her an additional claim to our respect and gram; for, in truth we owe to her not only Evelina, Cc cilia and Camilla, but also Mansfield Park and the Absentee.

Book Description
Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 In some respects Mr. Leigh Hunt is excellently qualified for the task which he has now undertaken. His style, in spite of its mannerism, nay, partly by reason of its mannerism, is well suited for light, garrulous, desultory aria, half critical, half bio graphical. We do not always agree with his literary judgments; but we find in him whatis very rare in our time, the power of justly appreciating and heartily enjoying good things of very difi'erent kinds. He can adore Shakspeare and Spenser without denying poetical genius to the author of Alexander' s Feast, or fine observation, rich fancy, and exquisite humour to him who imagined Will Honeycomb and Sir Roger de Coverley. He has paid particular attention to the history of the English drama, from the age of Elizabeth down to our own time, and has every right to be heard with respect on that subject.
