Sobre este artículo
8vo. [iv], xvi, 378 pages of text. FIRST EDITION. Full contemporary calf raised bands with gilt-stamped compartments and red calf label. Avery good copy. In March 1755 Young published The Centaur not Fabulous in five letters addressed to a friend , that is, [Samuel] Richardson, who helped with its revision. Divided into six letters in the first of two revised editions that year, this prose satire and homily was directed at licentious and irreligious contemporaries who, misguided by infidel philosophers like Lord Bolingbroke, resembled the fabled beasts. Here as elsewhere Young stressed human dignity as a bulwark against hedonism and atheism." Young died at Welwyn in Hertfordshire on April 5th, 1765. Samuel Johnson noted that with all his defects he was a man of genius and a poet. He is particularly remembered for his gift of epigram.
