"We find here a close imitation of man and manners; we see the very web and texture of society as it really exists, and as we meet it when we come into the world. If poetry has 'something more divine' in it, this savours more of humanity. We are brought acquainted with the motives and characters of mankind, imbibed our notions of virtue and vice from practical examples, and are taught a knowledge of the world through the airy medium of romance." - William Hazlitt |
