Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
On 11 November 1732, Lord Hervey wrote to the Duke of Richmond, 'As to the account of the loves, courtship and marriages of your beasts, it seems to me not so much a literal description of Goodwood dens as an allegorical epitome of the whole matrimonial world'. And he continued in reply to the Duke's letter to develop the theme. 'If you would follow the example of Aesop', he suggested, 'and write fables upon your birds and beasts, I have a notion that without going out of your own park you might characterise the persons, tempers and occupations of all your acquaintances. The marriages of your bears, tigers, wolves and monkeys would certainly do for a representation of half the conjugal performances in England. But now and then you would, I confess, be a little puzzled to represent some matches one sees between brutes of a different species, which is a privilege I believe peculiar to human brutes, and consequently would be difficult to be well couched in fable and allegory'. | ||||||||||
