Excerpt: ... men, and all men, delight to gratify, are questions that were not brought to the test, and therefore must remain undecided. At my present time of life, I cannot disapprove the determination, which it seems he then made, of not suffering me to be the travelling companion of George. Perhaps the father rightly enough conjectured that the son had a sufficient propensity for the gamingtable, without the aid of a tempter. With respect to the plan of educating me to be a country curate, or even as Mr. Saville said of obtaining some trifling church preferment, I unfortunately looked on it with contempt. I little understood in what.the happiness of life consists; that sweet content is the greatest of riches; and that the pleasures of idleness, or of fashion, are but delusive demons, that incessantly torment those by whom they are pursued. I knew not how beneficial, to the people among whom he may live, and how useful even in seclusion, having leisure and talents, a country curate may become. Oh that I had then understood the character and the worth of my dear friend, the vicar of our parish! In any case, I was introduced, or ra, ther recommended, as a dependent, wKo was to perform the duty of a clerk to his friend, Mr. Hazard. I had willingly given my consent; for I had a sincere desire rather to devote myself to honest industry than to be ranked as the companion of the vicious, and be obliged to practise arts, which, as my understanding opened, I began sincerely to despise. Let me however observe, it is to youth a dreadful trial to have the means of vice in their power; for their..passions are in the utmost danger, or rather in the greatest certainty, of rendering temptation irresistible. At present, I can sit and reason on such situations very..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thomas Holcroft was a central figure of the 1790s, whose texts played an important role in the transition toward Romanticism. In this, the first essay collection devoted to his life and work, the contributors reassess Holcroft's contributions to a remarkable range of literary genres-drama, poetry, fiction, autobiography, political philosophy-and to the project of revolutionary reform in the late eighteenth century. The self-educated son of a cobbler, Holcroft transformed himself into a popular playwright, influential reformist novelist, and controversial political radical. But his work is not important merely because he himself was a remarkable character, but rather because he was a hinge figure between laboring Britons and the dissenting intelligentsia, between Enlightenment traditions and developing 'Romantic' concerns, and between the world of self-made hack writers and that of established critics. Enhanced by an updated and corrected chronology of Holcroft's life and work, key images, and a full bibliography of published scholarship, this volume makes way for more concerted and focused scholarship and teaching on Holcroft. Taken together, the essays in this collection situate Holcroft's self-fashioning as a member of London's literati, his central role among the London radical reformers and intelligentsia, and his theatrical innovations within ongoing explorations of the late eighteenth-century public sphere of letters and debate.
