Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modern English Essays, Vol. 4: By Ernest Eighteen essayists are grouped together in this volume, and it would be idle to say they are of one school, or intrinsically of the same character. They range from Edward Verrall Lucas, whose "Philosopher that Failed" comes from his Character and Comedy to Logan Pearsall Smith, whose essay on the Rose is from Trivia. These are both books of one period, given to brief considerations of things; yet they are markedly diverse. One writer is a relisher of life and letters; the other, a spiritual sybarite. The latter is an American by birth; so is Professor Brander Matthews, whose function as professor and New York dramatic critic has not spoilt his hand as an essayist. His account of Maria Edgeworth is an "Everyman" essay. Another contributor is Hilaire Belloc. He has written books On Nothing(1907), On Everything(1909), and On Anything(1910). His essays here printed come from the first of the three. He and his congenial fellow prose-writer, G.K. Chesterton, who contributes two essays, write from the life and from the hour, much as did the eighteenth-century men.
