Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Arcady, and Other Essays From a Country Parsonage It is easy for the superior person to frame an indictment of the literature which finds favour in the eyes of either the lower or lower-middle class. From the point of view of ´culture´ it is impossible to imagine, for instance, anything more depressing than the songs sung by the men and their wives at a Harvest Home supper in one of the southern counties. Occasionally one hears a genuine bit of old folk-song, like the song which describes the meeting in the alehouse of the blacksmith, the mason, the tinker and the rest. But by far the greater part of the songs, taken from cheap broadsheets, are marked by an anæmic, lugubrious sentimentality and by nothing else.
