Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reviews Critical Papers Lionel Johnson´s critical writings can hardly find a place amongst our greatest criticism; and yet, judged by the severest standards, they rank high, having a permanent value. Their value might have been greater, one supposes, had Johnson been given the necessary time for polishing and welding his thoughts about literary art, or his judgments upon books as they came to him from the press. Born in 1867, he died in the middle of his thirty-sixth year in 1902, as result of an accident, when he had just recovered from a years painful illness. He had, then, about ten years for his work, after he came down to London from New College, Oxford. A part of this time went into the three books he published: an early series of essays on The Art of Thomas Hardy, and two volumes of verse. These poems, the result of always careful, sometimes even painful, workmanship in the expression of real emotions, have a severe, enduring charm, though they are limited in range. They have found with the years an increasing audience, so that the original editions have become hard to obtain, and a new collected edition was published in 1915. But our present concern is with Johnson´s prose - with the reviews, contributed to London periodicals, which were his remaining literary accomplishment. The formal article or the "literary essay" he wrote hardly at all. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
