It blends Gothic villainy with Enlightenment commentary on social behaviour and morality. Its author, Scottish physician John Moore, was ranked with Richardson, Smollett, and Fielding as one of the finest novelists of the eighteenth century. Influential on such writers as Burns and Byron, and selected by Anna Lætitia Barbauld in 1810 for her series of the best British novels, Zeluco mysteriously fell out of print and has remained unobtainable since. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eZeluco charts the career of a wicked Sicilian aristocrat who causes death and ruin to all those around him before finally meeting a horrible fate. But Zeluco is much more than an early Gothic novel featuring a monomaniacal tyrant: it is a rich panorama of life in the late eighteenth century, dealing with English and European manners and hot topics of the day, such as the abolition of slavery. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Harrington Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57435309998454,"sku":"7952","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0425\/1425\/1928\/files\/1789-zeluco-various-views-of-human-nature-by-john-moore-first-edition-3664568.jpg?v=1773149676"},{"product_id":"1846-lectures-on-the-philosophy-of-the-mind-by-dr-thomas-brown","title":"1846 Lectures On The Philosophy Of The Mind by Dr. Thomas Brown.","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLectures On The Philosophy Of The Mind\u003c\/em\u003e by Dr. Thomas Brown (1778-1820).
