Reseña del libro "Thomas Percy: A Scholar-Cleric in the age of Johnson (en Inglés)"

Thomas Percy: eighteenth century success story (born a grocer's son, died a bishop of the Church of Ireland.) He was an eminent scholar, and the senior member of Samuel Johnson's famous literary circle. Detailed biography.: focused on his determination to ransack the British Empire for ballads to fill out his three volume RELIQUES OF ANCIENT ENGLISH POETRY, a collection that fired the imaginations of Blake, Scott, Wordsworth and Coleridge. Although his literary successes made him a revered figure whose palace at Dromore was a center of literary discussion, Percy considered himself primarily a churchman. That was the role in which he achieved his greatest eminence during his 29 years in Ireland, where he lived during the troubled years leading up to the Rebellion of 1798 and the Union of England and Ireland in 1800. The biography is enlivened by his own recollections of the religious and political climate of the time.
