Description
Edizione: a very handsome copy, illustrated throughout. includes walton’s last published major work and the last of his series of “lives” which along with sanderson included dunne, hooker, herbert and wotton. walton’s notoriety as author of the compleat angler, (one of the most famous books in the language and one of the best sporting and “how to” books of all time) often overshadows the memory of these biographies, the last three of which were written when walton was quite elderly. in these works walton expresses a unique view of time as a perceptual framework and a transient state of normal life. he stresses that these important figures must be viewed within their own and personal relationship to time, and to the times in which they lived. in doing so he evolved the art of writing “lives” to something more closely relative to modern biographical scholarship then can be seen in the writings of his contemporaries.
