About this book

Eighteen essays by John Cowper Powys, brought out in New York in 1916, take up writers from Montaigne and Pascal to Henry James and Oscar Wilde. French authors fill much of the list: Voltaire, Rousseau, Balzac, Victor Hugo, Maupassant, Anatole France, Verlaine and Remy de Gourmont. William Blake, Byron, Emily Brontë and Joseph Conrad stand among the English-language subjects. The opening essay, The Art of Discrimination, argues that sensitiveness is what both separates and unites people, and a closing piece gives the book its title.
