Amenities of Literature Consisting of Sketches and Characters of English Literature

"Amenities of Literature" by Isaac Disraeli is an exploration into the world of English literary history during the 1800s. Disraeli journeys through the evolution of writing in English, highlighting the people who shaped it and providing historical context to the works. The book explores how literature mirrors changes in society and the deeper thoughts of humanity with special focus on the psychological side of creating literary masterpieces. Right from the start, Disraeli shares his plan to write an engaging history of local literature, one that links literature to the social and psychological environments of its creation and steers clear of being boring. He looks at how complicated literary beginnings are. This is done by thinking about writers' contributions to molding public opinion and the interactions that happen between authors and their communities. This gives us a quick look into Disraeli's in-depth study into the ways literature affects history and tradition before he goes into looking at certain literary people and ideas later on.
