About this book
Theodore Watts-Dunton, presented by James Douglas as poet, novelist and critic, is the subject of a book whose contents include the Renascence of Wonder and the acted drama. The critical discussion proposes judging a painter or poet partly by sympathy with the movement called the Renascence of Wonder, other things being equal or nearly equal. A comparison credits a picture or drawing by Rossetti with romantic spirit, contrasting that spirit with the romantic feeling attributed to French romanticists.
The treatment of humour distinguishes irony in human intercourse from the deeper irony of humanity's intercourse with universal harmony. The argument makes a humourist's place among the very greatest conditional upon a sense of that deeper irony.
