Manchester Guardian.—“Animation, sympathy, proportion, govern the book throughout. Alike in his treatment of individuals and in his firm hold of the main threads of his story, the author shows his mastery of the art of weaving a history.”
Glasgow Herald.—“This brilliant book gives a new value and distinction to the series. Mr. Gosse’s critical taste and skill have never been better exemplified. The book is a fine and solid piece of work.”
Manchester Courier.—“An interesting body of criticism unsurpassed in its sanity, luminousness, and sense of proportion, expressed with a directness and clearness which render it all the more valuable, and with a felicity which gives it a charm, rarely associated with handbooks of literature.”
Globe.—“It is wonderful that Mr. Gosse should have been able to get so much fact as well as thought into a space comparatively so small. We have here, in effect, the cream of the author’s meditations on the wide field of English literature.”
