Summary "Dalziel's Illustrated Goldsmith" by Oliver Goldsmith is a comprehensive collection of literary works written in the late 18th century. The volume features notable pieces such as "The Vicar of Wakefield," "The Traveller," and "She Stoops to Conquer," among others, showcasing Goldsmith's contributions to poetry, prose, and drama. The book also includes an insightful biography offering a glimpse into Goldsmith's life, character, and struggles as a writer. The beginning of this collection introduces readers to Goldsmith's family and early influences, particularly focusing on his father, the Reverend Charles Goldsmith. The narrative sketches a vivid picture of Goldsmith’s upbringing in Ireland, touching upon themes of kindness, benevolence, and the tensions between family aspirations and economic stability. As Goldsmith recounts his formative years, the depiction highlights his experiences in academia, early literary struggles, and formative journeys that shape his understanding of humanity, setting a reflective tone for the literary exploration that follows.
