Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Short History of French Literature Mr. Hudson´s death on the 12th of August 1918, at Droitwich, came as a shock; but not altogether to those by whom he was best known as an unanticipated blow. In 1913 he had had a disabling attack of rheumatic fever, and he was well aware his heart was weak. Indeed, he once remarked to one who some eight years ago remonstrated with him for overtaxing his strength that he had good reason to suppose his span of life would be short, and that he had much that he wished to write. This is the nemesis of the critical profession. Before one can criticise, one must have read and studied; and when at fifty "the ship is cheered," one may perhaps hear the evening bell. Not that Mr. Hudson´s energy was in any degree abated. His last book on Nineteenth Century Literature was as ripe and easy as anything he had produced, a thing let fall from copiousness and a mind stored to the full. Learning is a word that in this country has come to bear a very particular connotation. One must know more about some one subject, however minute or subdivided, than others do; or one must labour in the mine and bring to the surface what has not been properly accessible before.
