Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. 4th Edition. This copy of An Essay on the Writings and Genius of Shakespear, Compared with the Greek and French Dramatic Poets. With some remarks upon the Misrepresentations of Mons. De Voltaire. The Fourth Edition, To which are now first added Three Dialogues of the Dead. By Mrs. Montagu was published in London in 1777 by Edward and Charles Dilly. The book, which measures approximately 5 ¼ x 8 ½ inches, contains 316 pages, with front and rear end-papers. The front cover is missing and the original rear cover is detached, but the body of the book is in very good condition. The book's spine contains the original covering and printing. The pages are only very slightly tanned, with the text clear and easily read. The overall condition of the item is good. In 1760, George Lyttleton encouraged Mrs. Montagu to write Dialogues of the Dead. It is a series of conversations between the living and the illustrious dead and works as a satire of 18th century vanity and manners. In 1769, she published An Essay on the Writings and Genius of Shakespear. In it, she proclaims William Shakespeare the greatest English poet and, in fact, the greatest poet of any nation. She also attacks Samuel Johnson's Preface to Shakespeare from 1765 for not having gone on to praise Shakespeare's plays enough. While Johnson had dealt with text, history, and the circumstances of editing, Montagu wrote instead about the characters, plots, and beauties of the verse in Shakespeare and saw in him a championing of all things inherently English. The illustrations accompanying this description show the Title Page, the Table of Contents, the first page of the Introduction, and a typical 2-page spread of text. Elizabeth Montagu (2 October 1718 - 25 August 1800) was a British social reformer, patron of the arts, salonist, literary critic, and writer who helped organize and lead the bluestocking society. Her parents were both from wealthy families with strong ties to the British peerage and intellectual life. She married Edward Montagu, a wealthy man with extensive holdings, to become one of the wealthiest women of her era. She devoted this wealth to fostering English and Scottish literature and to the relief of the poor. [Wikipedia].

Full leather, gilt decorative borders on front and rear boards, marbled endpapers. An assessment of the work of William Shakespeare by Elizabeth Robinson Montagu, who maintained a popular London salon among whose patrons were Samuel Johnson, Edmund Burke, and Horace Walpole. Montagu references Samuel Johnson's commentary on Shakespeare favorably in her introduction, and also condemns the criticism of Voltaire, who famously loathed Shakespeare's work and made no attempt to hide it (he wrote, for example, "Hamlet is a gross and barbarous piece, and would never be borne by the lowest rabble in France or Italy." [Preface to Semiramis, 1748]). Contents include: Introduction; On Dramatic Poetry; On the Historical Drama; The First Part of Henry IV; The Second Part of Henry IV; On the Praeternatural Beings; The Tragedy of Macbeth; Upon the Cinna of Corneille; Upon the Death of Julius Caesar.

First Edition
A widely-read and respected critical work on Shakespeare by the eminent Bluestocking Elizabeth Montagu (1720 Ð 1800), which she wrote in response to VoltaireÕs contemptuous references to Shakespeare. Her friend, Samuel Johnson, was said to have disliked it, though the essay had unequivocal admirers in Joshua Reynolds, Lyttleton, Thomas Warton, and Lord Greville. Cowper wrote of it: ÒI no longer wonder that Mrs. Montagu stands at the head of all that is called learned, and that every critic veils his bonnet to her superior judgementÉThe learning, the good sense, the sound judgement, and the wit displayed in [the Essay] fully justify not only my compliment, but all compliments that either have been already paid to her talent or shall be hereafter,Ó (Hayley, Life of Cowper, quoted in Oxford DNB). Octavo. [4], 288 pp. Contemporary calf. Gilt spine with red morocco label. Some rubbing to spine and extremities, as usual. Red speckled edges. Marbled endpapers. Ink signature of a James Ford (1849) to preliminary blank, along with a quote by William Cowper copied out in ink. Aside from some toning to first few leaves, a remarkably clean and fresh copy. Correspondence between Montagu and James Beattie also transcribed in ink onto two terminal blanks (probably by Ford). A very good, bright, and attractive copy of this work by one of the most important woman critics of her day. First edition. In the 1760s, Montagu and Elizabeth Vesey (1715 Ð 1791) began organizing the assemblies that would earn them renown as the ÒQueensÓ of the Bluestockings (ODNB). These assemblies offered a space for literary, philosophical, and artistic discussion for such figures as Elizabeth Carter, Anna Laetitia Barbauld, Sarah Fielding, Hannah More, Samuel Johnson,ÊSir Joshua Reynolds, Edmund Burke,ÊDavid Garrick, James Beattie, andÊHorace Walpole.
