Item description from seller

1992. xiv, 226pp. Signed "William Zachs" on the title page. "Gilbert Stuart's literary criticism, historical works and political commentary have been overlooked by modern historians. Here, Zachs puts Stuart's life into the context of Enlightenment history. He describes how Stuart returned to Scotland after winning acclaim on London's Grub Street and founded his own periodical which subsequently flopped. Despite this he remained a prolific and widely published historical writer, but after failing to earn the recognition he felt was his due Stuart ended his life a disappointed man, steeped in alcoholism and physical and mental self-destruction." Book and unclipped dust jacket both in very good condition.
