Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Cobwebs of Criticism I wrote this book in my earliest days of writing, and my first object was merely to amuse myself and the public by collecting the fatuous invectives and jeremiads with which (as was partly known already) the accepted critics of the time had received works of literature which are now established as masterpieces in the opinion of the world. The doltish objurgations of the pretentious dunce who told Wordsworth that he ´would not do´, and the Boeotian booings of the mooncalves who advised Keats to ´go back to his ointment boxes´ were not so much serious things to me then as ridiculous witnesses to the perpetual presence of the egregious ass. But I have since thought that these curiosities of criticism have a certain philosophical value as evidences of the operation of laws of the human mind, which are probably as active now as they were a hundred years ago. Therefore this reprint of my early book, and therefore this prefatory note to it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
