The book titled The English Poets: Lessing And Rousseau And Essays By James Russell Lowell With An Apology For A Preface is a collection of essays on two famous writers, Lessing and Rousseau, by James Russell Lowell. The book is prefaced by an apology by Lowell. The first part of the book focuses on Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, a German writer and philosopher of the Enlightenment era. Lowell provides an in-depth analysis of Lessing's literary works, including his plays, essays, and critical writings. Lowell also discusses Lessing's impact on the German literary scene and his influence on other writers.The second part of the book is dedicated to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a French philosopher and writer of the 18th century. Lowell explores Rousseau's life and works, including his famous novel Emile and his political philosophy. Lowell also discusses Rousseau's influence on the French Revolution and his impact on European thought.Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the works of Lessing and Rousseau, as well as 18th-century literature and philosophy. Lowell's essays provide a thoughtful and insightful analysis of these two important writers, and his preface offers a glimpse into the author's own thoughts and motivations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
