A much better than average copy of a book tough-to-find in decent condition due to its fragile binding -- original gray-paper covered stiff boards.

Also has contributions by John Dewey 2 George Santayana 2 Walter Lippman 8 Francis Hackett 8 Herbert Croly 8 Philip Littell 10 etc. Frank Kermode wrote about Rebecca West "if ever a writer so young demonstrated what Shakespeare called 'the flash and outbreak of a fiery mind' it was she." While still in her twenties Rebecca West began penning reviews that were perceptive eloquent and more often than not devastating. In essay THE DUTY OF HARSH CRITICISM the twenty-three year old West castigates her fellow critics for their soft-headedness and failure to live up to their responsibilities. The critic she argues has a duty to keep clear 'the path of letters' thereby making it possible for art to save people's souls. Setting an example for her fellow critics to follow she then lays into George Bernard Shaw and H. G. Wells for certain heretofore overlooked failings. And let it not be said that West played favorites: When this essay appeared - in volume one number one of The New Republic - H.G. Wells had been her lover for more than a year--and would remain so until 1923." . First Edition Thus. Hardcover stiff boards. Very Good condition/No jacket. 8vo. 361pp .
