Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. This book provides the reader with a series of individual studies of the works of our leading modern writers. The present volume contains studies of American, English, French, Indian, Irish, and Italian writers. Each study is contributed by a literary critic with a real personal interest in the work of his subject, and the aim, on the whole, has been to achieve a positive assessment rather than a mere negative criticism.
