Opis: Calidore Miscellanea (Classic Reprint) - Peacock Thomas Love

Excerpt from Calidore Miscellanea

"Gather up the fragments that remain" is a precept whose application may be easily overstrained in the case of the literary remnants of a favourite author. A much smaller fraction than half is, in such instances, usually better than the whole. Peacock's editor and publisher, however, have agreed, and it is hoped that the body of his readers will not dissent, that the complete edition of his novels, which has now run its course, might be fitly supplemented by an appendix of minor writings, hitherto uncollected or not easily accessible. Such a decision is especially justifiable in the case of a writer whose slightest production bears the stamp of originality, and this is pre-eminently the case with Peacock, whose manner of presenting even a familiar idea is always distinctively his own. When his robust independence is associated with a congenial subject, the effect is very agreeable, - it is like being made thoroughly at home by one who is thoroughly at home himself. Peacock seldom responded to the mere call of a publisher or editor, for such a call was seldom addressed to him.
