Autorenporträt
Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774) was a seminal Anglo-Irish writer, poet, and playwright remembered fondly for his contributions to the literary world during the 18th century. Born in the townland of Pallas, near Ballymahon, County Longford, Ireland, Goldsmith graduated from Trinity College, Dublin before venturing upon his studies of medicine. However, it was his literary prowess that marked his place in history. Among his illustrious body of work, his poetic contributions shine exceptionally bright, and 'The Complete Poetical Works of Oliver Goldsmith' stands as a testament to his enduring legacy. His verse is characterized by delicate sentimentality, a touch of irony, and an everlasting charm; qualities that rendered his work accessible and beloved by the audiences of his time and have continued to resonate with readers through the ages. Notably, Goldsmith's 'The Traveller' and 'The Deserted Village' are celebrated for their elegiac tone and social critique, which blend poignantly the personal with the political, the idyllic with the elegiac. His poetry exudes the Augustan elegance and simplicity that starkly contrasted with the chaotic Romantic sentiments burgeoning towards the end of his career. As a figure in the vibrant literary milieu of 18th-century London, Goldsmith was acquainted with luminaries such as Samuel Johnson, with whom he was a member of the esteemed circle of artists known as the Club. Goldsmith's multifaceted legacy also includes successful plays like 'She Stoops to Conquer' and 'The Good-Natur'd Man,' alongside his popular novel 'The Vicar of Wakefield,' securing his place as a versatile and approachable literary figure whose works continue to be studied and cherished for their wit, humanity, and critical edge.
