	Oliver Goldsmith
		Oliver early became, and through life continued to be, a passionate admirer of the Irish music, and especially of the compositions of Carolan, some of the last notes of whose harp he heard.
		Goldsmith, indeed, was so regardless of truth as to assert in print that he was present at a most interesting conversation between Voltaire and Fontenelle, and that this conversation took place at Paris.
		Goldsmith might now be considered as a prosperous man. He had the means of living in comfort, and even in what to one who had so often slept in barns and on bulks must have been luxury.

	A biography of Oliver Goldsmith (1728-1774)
		Oliver Goldsmith was a very great man. This his contemporaries agreed on, yet none of them knew quite why.
		Goldsmith grew up in genteel poverty in rural isolation in a society in which the barriers of class were as firm as the Great Wall of China; in which riches and poverty, benevolence or tyranny, seemed as wayward as the winds of heaven.
		Goldsmith himself knew the outrages that the powerless and the poverty-stricken had to endure at the hands of their richer superiors.

	[minstrels] An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog -- Oliver Goldsmith
		Such a rise was possible because Goldsmith had one quality, soon noticed by booksellers and the public, that his fellow literary hacks did not possess--the gift of a graceful, lively, and readable style.
		Goldsmith's poetry lives by its own special softening and mellowing of the traditional heroic couplet into simple melodies that are quite different in character from the solemn and sweeping lines of 18th-century blank verse.
		Goldsmith saw people, human situations, and indeed the human predicament from the comic point of view; he was a realist, something of a satirist, but in his final judgments unfailingly charitable.

		Goldsmith's Animated Nature went through over twenty editions into the Victorian era; though it can be criticized on technical grounds, the work became the source of what countless individuals in the English-speaking world knew about the natural world around them.
		Goldsmith wrote with clarity and precision; for example, he admitted one of the most common confusions in natural history of the period in his discussion of the "border" between plants and animals:
		Goldsmith weighed in on the side of those who believed that all human varieties derived from a single species, admitting however that great changes seemed able to occur in individual members of a species, including our own.

	Oliver Goldsmith's "The Rising Village"
		Goldsmith could not freely choose his diction because he was not writing satire; he was writing according to the rules.
		Goldsmith’s acceptance of the rules implies an acceptance of the political power structure, although his attitude is by no means unquestioning.
		Goldsmith wishes to create a sense of this mental state for a diverse collection of readers, some of whom had been through the original experience and some of whom had not.

		While poor Goldsmith was thus struggling with the difficulties and discouragements which in those days beset the path of an author, his friends in Ireland received accounts of his literary success and of the distinguished acquaintances he was making.
