Curiosities Of Literature
By I. D'Israeli
Published by Edward Moxon: London 1841 12th Edition

" Curiosities of Literature by Isaac D'Israeli is a celebrated compendium of essays exploring the hidden anecdotes, eccentric personalities, and curious traditions that have shaped literary and intellectual history. Blending wit, scholarship, and storytelling, D'Israeli reveals the human side of books and authors—from forgotten poets and peculiar collectors to literary quarrels, the evolution of libraries, and the power of ideas through time. His erudite yet engaging style transforms obscure facts into vivid narratives, offering readers both enlightenment and amusement in equal measure.

Published in 1841 by Edward Moxon, this twelfth edition reflects the enduring popularity of D'Israeli's most famous work, which remained in print for over a century and influenced generations of readers and writers alike. Revered for its elegant prose and encyclopedic range, it stands as a testament to the author's lifelong devotion to learning and the preservation of literary culture. This volume would appeal to collectors of classic literary miscellanies, admirers of 19th-century scholarship, and readers intrigued by the eccentric byways of literary history. "
