About this book
The criticism attacks a literary world in which writers dependent on their pens for a livelihood must either be pushed aside or join a scramble for notoriety and mutual praise. The argument treats the overestimation of the average man's performances as an established custom rather than merely a tendency.
A review headed A Gallop Through English Literature discusses J. J. Jusserand's A Literary History of the English People from the Origins to the Renaissance. The Shakespeare discussion argues that a dramatic poet must make characters express themselves dramatically, and links sentiments and expressions to the world preceding the Reformation that those characters inhabit.
