RYDBERG (Viktor) Roman Days. Translated by Alfred Corning Clark, with Memoir of the author by H. A. W. Lindehn. Illustrated. 8vo, cloth 2 00
The volume embodies the results of careful historical studies, and gives some legendary matters not heretofore brought forward. The art criticisms are the work of a poet and scholar; the brief historical and topographical sketches, those of a clear-headed philosopher and eager traveller, a quick observer, a man of general and thorough culture. The book is a picturesque mosaic of the many brilliant, sober, gay, comic, dramatic, tragic, poetic, vulgar elements that make up the past history of that wonderful city and the physiognomy it bears to-day.
“We welcome this work from the hardy North for its broad scholarship, its freshness and ripeness. The articles betray an artistic discrimination rare in one not a sculptor by profession, and experienced and enthusiastic in that art. Rydberg possesses the pure plastic spirit.”—N. Y. Herald.
