Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of Walter Savage Landor When lately it was my privilege to contribute a sketch of Landor´s Life to Mr. Morley´s justly popular series of English Men of Letters, I could not but be conscious that hardly by one in ten or twenty among my readers was very much likely to be known of him beyond his name. Warmly as his writings have always been praised by a few, with the main body of the reading public they have failed hitherto to make their way. There exists, however, a curiosity about Landor, and a desire to know him better: even the reception of the sketch in question, following as it did within a few years on the second edition of Mr. Forster´s detailed Life, helps, if I may say as much, to prove it. Who, indeed, would not be curious? Who, that had once had his attention called towards it, could fail to be interested in so original and so imposing a figure? But strong as is the interest which Landor´s personality is calculated to excite, the interest excited by his work in literature should be stronger still. The virtues of the writer, indeed, like those of the man, are far from being unobstructed or complete, and with his best work not a little that is unacceptable is mixed up. But what most distinguishes Landor from other English writers is not his incompleteness; it is not his combination of high excellences with disconcerting faults: it is the character of those excellences themselves that most distinguishes him; it is the exceptional aim and direction of his art.
