Studies in Classic American Literature is, so far, Mr. Lawrence’s only sustained work in literary criticism. Many of these essays first appeared serially in the English Review. The dates of their appearance in that journal are given under Contributions to Periodicals, where a paper on Whitman in the London Nation is also noted. Before their publication in book form the essays were materially revised, and several new studies were added.
