The
two-volume version is an English translation published in the 1750s and
is now held by the Library of Congress. Yet as early as the 1750s, the conversible world had come under
attack: From novelists such as Henry Fielding, who lampooned the culture
of politeness as a culture of pretentiousness and hypocrisy, and from
poets such as Thomas Gray, the author of the most popular poem of the
century, "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard," really a
hymn to glum solitude. Located near Sackville, New Brunswick, Fort
Beausejour was built by the French in the early 1750s and fell to the
British following a two-week siege in 1755. |
