Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Day-Book of Walter Savage Landor Landor has been very fortunate in his editors and critics. Few authors have been more generally praised by their peers. And perhaps no English writer except Wordsworth owes more to an interpreter than Landor owes to Sir Sidney Colvin, whose volume of selections from him is not only one of the largest but also one of the finest in the Golden Treasury Series. His works are bulky, and in every way rather difficult of approach for the ordinary reader. It is safe to say that of his readers to-day at least three-quarters know him chiefly or solely in the Golden Treasury volume. There is also a more recent selection, an admirable little book, done by Mr. de Sélincourt. But that is confined to the Imaginary Conversations. In his interesting Introduction to it, Mr. de Sélincourt says: ´Open our Landor where we will, we cannot read far before we meet some wise saw, some striking image, that arrests the attention and sets the mind working.´ Part of the object of this little book is to illustrate the truth of this remark and to do for Landor what has been done for so many writers who lend themselves to it so much less than he.
