About this book
Louise Imogen Guiney assembles a set of biographical sketches here, each portrait drawn from English literary and cultural history. She writes about figures whose lives and work she admired, blending research with a personal, essayistic touch that reflects her own devotion to letters. Rather than exhaustive biography, these are appreciations, shaped by Guiney's fine ear for language and her fondness for the byways of the past. The collection reads as much as a record of her tastes as of her subjects, and it shows why she was respected among the writers of her generation. Readers who enjoy literary essays and quiet, well-turned prose will find it agreeable company. A free PDF and EPUB edition is available to download.
