A very intelligent, interesting, and intensely readable book. -- Isaiah Berlin No praise can be too high...remarkable for its balance and sense of perspective. -- Noel Annan The New York Review Of Books Strewn with marvelous bits: deft apercus, biographical portraits of great subtlety and force, wit, commonsensical intelligence everywhere. No one who cares about the state of literature can afford to neglect this book. -- Joseph Epstein A brilliant account of English literary culture, as engaging as it is illuminating. -- Lionel Trilling
