Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 2001

This is a biographical sketch of Oliver Goldsmith and a labor of love. Irving has gone into it with more fullness, omitting none of the facts which he considered illustrative of the life and character of the poet, and giving them in as graphic a style as he could command. Irving thought there were few writers for whom the reader feels such personal kindness as for Oliver Goldsmith, for few have so eminently possessed the magic gift of identifying themselves with their writings. You will read this character in every page, and grow into familiar intimacy with him as you read.
