The Goldsmith poem I have always loved, Jeff, is "The Deserted Village," which I first discovered when I was in high school, and was one of the poems that made me fall in love with poetry.
Husband Allan just found a beautiful hardbound copy of _Tristram Shandy_ yesterday -- published by New York's Heritage Press in 1935, intro. by Christopher Morley. Then an awful thought occurred to us: Is this an expurgated edition?
Frank, thanks for the link ... I might have to use it ... or head down to the Friends of the Library bookstore.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it or not, all Ive read by Goldsmith is, "She Stoops to Conquer" ... in an old Bantam paperback, paired with Sheridan's "School for Scandal."
