Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Art of Thomas Hardy It is held, upon all hands, that to write about the works of a living writer is a difficult and a delicate thing: I have felt the inevitable difficulty; I have tried to preserve the becoming delicacy. Throughout these essays upon the works of Mr. Hardy, there will be found, I trust, no discourtesy in my censure: I trust still more, no impertinence in my praise. Dr. Johnson assigned two meanings to the word Critick; in the first place, it means ´A man skilled in the business of judging of literature; a man able to distinguish the faults and beauties of writing´: in the second place, it means ´A snarler; a carper; a caviller.´ This evil kind of critic is prettily described by Drayton: ´This Critick so sterne, But whom, none must discerne, Nor perfectly have seeing, Strangely layes about him, As nothing without him Were worthy of being.´ About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
