Summary "Anecdotes about Authors and Artists" by John Timbs is a collection of literary and artistic anecdotes likely written during the late 19th century. This work compiles various sketches, curiosities, and notable incidents related to famous authors and artists, providing insights into their lives, creative processes, and the quirks that define them. The opening portion of the collection introduces the theme of literary anecdotes, beginning with the discovery of John Evelyn's manuscript diary, which lay undisturbed in his family's estate for years before being found by Lady Evelyn and the librarian Mr. Upcott. It then touches on several interesting historical facts, such as the rarity of literary progeny among great authors, the formation of the Blue-Stocking Club, and humorous snippets about notable figures like Dr. Johnson and Hannah More. This mix of historical trivia and personal stories sets up the reader for an engaging exploration into the lives and legacies of literary and artistic personalities.
