The term "largess" is employed across literary works to evoke both tangible gifts and broader notions of benevolence and abundance. In classical narratives like Suetonius's accounts [1], largess signifies a ruler's generosity through material offerings, while in Dante's translated verse [2, 3], it takes on a nuanced form, embodying both sustenance and the fulfillment of desire. Mark Twain uses the exclamation "A LARGESS!" [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9] almost as a rallying call to underscore social expectation and the rush for rewarding generosity, a sentiment mirrored in Frances Hodgson Burnett’s works where scattering largess [10, 11, 12, 13] becomes an emblem of the aspirational, fairy-tale quality of giving. Even beyond human actions, largess extends to the natural world, as seen in Temple Bailey’s imagery of flowers bestowing their bounty [14], and to everyday life through technical descriptions of gifts like wine-money [15]. This varied usage underscores the word’s rich versatility in denoting both physical generosity and metaphorical largesse across different contexts.
