Elton, Oliver. Michael Drayton. Constable & co., London.
This little volume by Professor Elton is “as an ‘avant-courier’ to the concerted attempt to restore Drayton to his place of eminence in English literature ... [and it tells] the prospective reader of the poetry all that is known, through the researches of modern scholarship of the man and his work.” (Dial.)

“Here, then, is the preparation one should need for the study and proper understanding of Drayton’s voluminous works.” W. A. Bradley.

“As regards the study of Drayton this volume should be more or less final. Professor Elton’s style is a trifle too figured for our own taste, but he writes well and has produced a book whose real critical value is considerably more extensive than one might have expected from the subject. There is evidence throughout of long research and indubitable scholarship.”
