From the publisher

""Love of Fame: The Universal Passion, In Seven Characteristical Satires"" is a book written by Edward Young and published in 1741. The book is a collection of seven satirical poems that explore the theme of the human desire for fame and the various ways in which people pursue it. Each satire focuses on a different aspect of this universal passion, including the vanity of the rich and famous, the folly of those who seek fame through politics or religion, and the dangers of excessive ambition. Through his witty and often biting commentary, Young exposes the flaws and weaknesses of his subjects while also offering a broader critique of society and human nature. The book is considered a classic of English literature and a seminal work in the genre of satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
