English literature and society in the eighteenth century is based on the lectures prepared by Sir Leslie Stephen for delivery at new college, Oxford. Due to serious breakdown of his health, he could not appear in person and the University had allowed him to employ a deputy, Herbert Fisher, fellow of new college, to read the lectures for him. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization. It has been reproduced from the original artefact and remains as true to the original work as possible. The book has been divided into five parts. First two parts deal with the time period of before 1714. The third part deals with time period of 1714-1739; the fourth part with time period of 1739-1763; and the fifth part with time period of 1763-788.
