Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Readers and Writers: 1917 1921 In a single week every literary form and tendency may find itself illustrated, with the consequence that any attempt to set the week´s doings in a relation of significant development is bound to fall under the suspicion of impressionism or arbitrariness. I have no other defence against these charges than Plato´s appeal to good judges, of whom the best because the last is Time. Time, if ever it should condescend to re-consider the judgments contained herein, will pronounce upon them as only those living critics can whose present judgments are an anticipation of Time´s. Time will show what has been right and what wrong. Already, moreover, a certain amount of winnowing and sifting has taken place. Some literary values of this moment are not what they were yesterday or the day before. A few are greater; many of them are less. And I think I can afford to look on most of the changes with equanimity. My most confident prediction, however, remains to be confirmed: it is that the perfect English style is still to be written. That it may be in our own time is both the goal and the guiding-star of all literary criticism that is not idle chatter.
