Modern English Literature: Its Blemishes And Defects is a book written by Henry Hegart Breen in 1857. The book is a critical analysis of the literature produced during the period of modern English literature. Breen argues that the literature of this period is flawed and defective due to the lack of moral and ethical values. He believes that the writers of this period have focused more on style and form rather than substance and content. Breen also criticizes the use of slang and improper language in modern English literature. He claims that the writers have sacrificed the purity and beauty of the English language for the sake of being fashionable and modern. The book provides a detailed analysis of the works of various writers of the period, including Charles Dickens, William Thackeray, and George Eliot. Breen's critique of modern English literature is a significant contribution to the study of English literature and provides valuable insights into the literary trends of the period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
