A Little English Gallery

This graceful collection of literary essays and portraits reflects on English writers and the pleasures of books and the reading life, written with the refinement and warmth that distinguished its author. Louise Imogen Guiney, a poet and woman of letters, brings scholarship and charm to her appreciations of literature past. Quiet, cultured, and affectionate toward its subjects, the book is a small delight for lovers of the essay and of literary history. A gentle companion for the bookish reader.
