AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A collection of thoughts on disparate literary subjects. Barton includes references to William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, William Congreve's 'The Mourning Bride' and Edgar Allan Poe's 'A Dream within a Dream'. He also reflects on death scenes in literature and appears to offer a translation, in poetry form, of the death of the young wife in Honoré de Balzac's Le Medicin de Campagne [The Country Doctor] (1833). (Poem indexed separately.)
