Produktbeschreibung

Bagatelle Or The Bath Anniversary: A Poem is a literary work written by an anonymous author in 1792. The poem is set in the city of Bath, a popular resort town in England during the 18th century. The story revolves around a group of wealthy and fashionable individuals who gather to celebrate the anniversary of their arrival in Bath. The poem is divided into three parts, each of which describes the events of a different day. The first part introduces the characters and their various activities, including attending balls, gambling, and taking part in fashionable social events. The second part focuses on the romantic relationships between the characters, with several love triangles forming and unraveling. The final part of the poem sees the characters reflecting on their time in Bath and their plans for the future.Throughout the poem, the author satirizes the excesses and superficiality of the fashionable society in Bath. The characters are portrayed as frivolous and obsessed with their own appearances, with little regard for the world beyond their social circle. The author also criticizes the rampant gambling and the impact it has on the characters' lives.Despite being anonymous, Bagatelle Or The Bath Anniversary: A Poem was a popular work during its time, and it provides a fascinating insight into the social customs and attitudes of the 18th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autorenporträt

The author of The Mabinogion is unknown, as the stories were passed down through Welsh oral tradition before being recorded in medieval manuscripts. They were later preserved in the White Book of Rhydderch and the Red Book of Hergest, two 14th-century texts. Though the scribes remain unnamed, their work safeguarded Wales's rich mythological heritage.These tales draw from ancient Celtic mythology, heroic sagas, and supernatural folklore. They reflect the cultural and political landscape of early Wales, blending history with legend. While the original storytellers are lost to time, their influence endures.In the 19th century, Lady Charlotte Guest translated and popularized The Mabinogion, introducing it to a wider English-speaking audience. Her work helped establish the text as a foundational piece of medieval literature and revived interest in Welsh mythology. Thanks to her efforts and the nameless scribes before her, The Mabinogion continues to captivate readers and scholars alike, preserving the voice of a lost era.
