About this book
Readings from Oliver Goldsmith collects selected prose and verse by Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774), the Anglo-Irish essayist, poet, novelist, and playwright who belonged to Samuel Johnson's famous Literary Club alongside Edmund Burke and Joshua Reynolds. Goldsmith is one of the few English writers to produce an enduring classic in three separate forms: the novel The Vicar of Wakefield (1766), the pastoral poem The Deserted Village (1770), and the stage comedy She Stoops to Conquer (1773). Reader anthologies like this one circulated widely in schools and home libraries during the nineteenth century, when Goldsmith's plain, good-humored style was held up as a model of English prose. For students sampling his essays and poems before tackling the full works, this volume remains a convenient entry point.
