This work is comprised of eleven previously unpublished essays that have arisen primarily from the writer's forty years of study of the social and literary histories of eighteenth-century Britain. The problems and issues collected in this work are amiscellany of thought, as they range: widely and feed on variety. The final piece in this work, a critical survey of various aspects of eighteenth-century literature by Somerset Maugham, allows today's reader to observe the literature of the eighteenth century from a distance.Rogal, Samuel J. is the author of 'Essays on John Wesley and His Contemporaries The Texture of Eighteenth-Century English Culture', published 2007 under ISBN 9780773455634 and ISBN 0773455639.
