Imaginary Conversations
'Imaginary Conversations' Summary
Walter Savage Landor's Imaginary Conversations is a collection of dialogues between historical and mythical figures. These conversations range from the witty to the profound, and cover a wide range of topics, from politics and religion to love and friendship. Some of the most famous conversations in the collection include those between Marcus Tullius Cicero and his brother Quinctus, between Oliver Cromwell and Walter Noble, and between William Wallace and King Edward I. Landor's conversations are a fascinating glimpse into the minds of some of the most influential figures in history. They are also a testament to Landor's own wit and learning, and his ability to bring these characters to life in a way that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.Book Details
