Society: or, The Spring in Town; VOL. III

by Anonymous

Nineteenth Century Collections European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection includes the full-text of more than 9,500 English, French and German titles. The collection is sourced from the remarkable library of Victor Amadeus, whose Castle Corvey collection was one of the most spectacular discoveries of the late 1970s. The Corvey Collection comprises one of the most important collections of Romantic era writing in existence anywhere -- including fiction, short prose, dramatic works, poetry, and more -- with a focus on especially difficult-to-find works by lesser-known, historically neglected writers. The Corvey library was built during the last half of the 19th century by Victor and his wife Elise, both bibliophiles with varied interests. The collection thus contains everything from novels and short stories to belles lettres and more populist works, and includes many exceedingly rare works not available in any other collection from the period. These invaluable, sometimes previously unknown works are of particular interest to scholars and researchers. European Literature, 1790-1840: The Corvey Collection * Novels and Gothic Novels

[Judith Hale Everett · Rating 3 out of 5]

Interesting study of the language, social practices, and humor of the time. The plot was fine, except most of the conflict arose from stupid things, like miscommunication, or the hero or heroine giving full credit to information coming from sources they already didn't trust. Some of that is believable in romance, but by the third volume of this book, it had happened so often that I was rolling my eyes. I finished because it was more for study than entertainment.
