OLIVER GOLDSMITH´s BIBLIOGRAPHY

Major Works

- The Citizen of the World ( 1760-61 ). Goldsmith puts criticism of English manners and mores into the letters written by a fictional Chinese gentleman, Lien Chi Altangi. This work shows the influence of Montesquieu's Persian Letters. One may well wonder where Goldy got the name Altangi.
- The Traveler ( 1764 ). The traveler-narrator fails to find happiness abroad and concludes that it is to be found in one's own mind: " Our own felicity we make or find."
- The Vicar of Wakefield ( 1766 ).
- The Deserted Village ( 1770 ). Nostalgic poem about the passing of a simpler, happier, rural past.
- The Life of Richard Nash ( 1762 ). Beau Nash, Master of Ceremonies at Bath, was an institution in Eighteenth Century England.
- She Stoops to Conquer ( 1773 ).
- Collected Letters. Edited by Katherine C. Balderston. Cambridge, 1928.
