About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Oliver Goldsmith As in the case of my edition of Macaulay's Life of Johnson, the tes to this Life of Goldsmith consist mainly of illustrative details drawn from writers to whom Macaulay was indebted for his materials. Macaulay's outlines are, as ever, masterly; but the general effect of his sketch is somewhat meagre and bare compared with that of his Samuel Johnson. It does t show the same acquaintance, r the same sympathy, with the subject. But, in spite of this, it possesses the charm of an artistic composition. It transports us in imagination back to the age of Goldsmith; it brings us and him menschlich naher, to use Schiller's fine expression; it makes him for us a real living person. In reading Macaulay's words we become personally interested in Goldsmith; this personal interest excites a desire of closer acquaintance, and makes us welcome every detail which helps to fill up, without blurring, the picture. Boswell, with whose book he was intimate, was for Macaulay a considerable source of information; for 'honest Goldsmith' is a conspicuous figure on Boswell's canvas.
