The Moral Element in English Literature

Description

"I was reading the other day---if you will permit me to start with a brief personal reference---an article written by the finest of our living critics. Whilst following his remarks with complete sympathy, I was brought to a stand by finding myself cited as an advocate of a theory which the critic pronounce, very rightly, in my judgment, to be absurd."
