POEMS, ESSAYS, AND FRAGMENTS
By JAMES THOMSON
(“B.V.”)
“Of the essays in this volume, the principal are those on Emerson, Burns, Shelley, Blake, and Walt Whitman. All these contain solid, though unequal work,—the first named, for instance, reproducing Emerson’s peculiar staccato style too closely to be pleasant. Those on Blake and Walt Whitman are, we think, his best, though we are not sure that we agree with Mr. Robertson in thinking that Thomson was really more competent in prose than in poetry.”—The Speaker.
