About this book
Four groups of writers make up this book of literary essays by S. P. B. Mais: older English authors, living writers of his day, books on the English language, and foreign authors. Subjects range from Tom Jones, Pepys and John Donne to Aldous Huxley, E. M. Forster and Sheila Kaye-Smith, and from Montaigne to Pushkin, Dostoievsky and Tolstoy. Mais says he chose the people who had held his interest during the previous year of reading, rather than following a plan. It first appeared in 1921.
