Through her elegant prose she examines the nature of reading the role of literature in society and provides engaging critiques of authors such as William Shakespeare George Eliot Joseph Conrad Charlotte Brontë Jane Austen and Chaucer among others. Her influential essays “On Not Knowing Greek†and “Modern Fiction†are included and an additional essay “Lives of the Obscure III Miss Ormerod†appears in this edition but not in the English editions; it was first published in the Dial New York December 1924.  Overall this influential collection offers a rich exploration of literature from a unique and perceptive perspective.</p> .
