A review by lawrenceevalyn
The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith, Goldsmith Oliver Goldsmith

4.0

I knew nothing about this book going it, but it was quite charming! I am, it seems, definitely a sentimental reader. I have never been less persuaded by an argument than I am by the claim that the narrator is unreliable; as far as I can tell, the only evidence for such a reading is "this book's sentimentality is too silly to take seriously", which I reject.
