Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters of Walter Savage Landor: Private and Public Authors, Landor said, should never be seen by authors, and little by other people. Yet it may be that authors and other people besides will see much of him in the following pages. The rule he lays down need not be followed exactly, or without a saving clause. In one´s first judgment of a book, doubtless it is better to avoid too intimate a knowledge of the man who wrote it. The personal bias works unfairly, sometimes in the direction of undue adulation, sometimes of unreasoning dislike. But before the final appreciation, we should surely seek to know a great deal about an author and his surroundings. As Sainte Beuve said, there are questions to be asked. And to the particular questions which the great French critic held to be essential, the answers, in regard to Walter Savage Landor, are given more or less distinctly in his private letters.
