A miscellany of literary criticism by the respected, prolific English critic and essayist, with a variety of subjects, dealing with both poetry and prose, ranging from members of the English Canon to the Soviet Union. "A critic of literature, though he may be well ware that he is no philosopher, may still try as it were to look through the railings, and to ask what philosophy can teach him about his business. It will introduce him to 'poetic', which is the theory of poetry, or rather of artistic invention generally; and I have talked about poetic and its history to more generations of college students than I care to reckon up." - from the prefatory note. Contents: 1. Style in Shakespeare; 2. The Present Value of Byron; 3. Robert Bridges and "The Testament of Beauty"; 4. Alexander Pushkin; 5. Chekhov; 6. Karel Capek: Short Tales and Fantasias; 7.
