Overview

In the 18th and 19th centuries, literature people were fond of copying out passages that had especially struck them or that seemed to have some particular significance from their favorite books, adding to these their own reflections. This tradition of commonplace books has largely been lost in the hurly-burly of modern life. But now, in Some Remembered Words, Oscar Schoenfeld has rekindled the flame. His reading has been wide-ranging, his insights sharp and instructive, his taste for language and literature at once fine and eclectic, and all done with great humor. Bibliophiles and bookworms will find this handsome little volume a thing of beauty and a joy forever, an ideal gift book to dip into at bedside or to read straight through.
