Auld Licht Idylls

Více o knize

J. M. Barrie's early writings focus on his native Scotland, presenting sentimental and nostalgic portrayals of rural life. While critics often dismiss these works as disconnected from the industrial realities of the nineteenth century, they offer a vital critique of modernity. Barrie's stories align with the regionalistic themes found in the works of Robert Frost and Edgar Lee Masters, highlighting the contrasts between pastoral life and the encroaching industrial world.
