My confidence that the genetic method is the natural way of approaching the subject has been shared by many lovers of poetry. I hope, however, that I have not allowed my insistence upon' the threefold process of impression, trans forming imagination, and expressi...

Excerpt from Little Masterpieces: John Milton, Selections, Chiefly Autobiographical, From the Pamphlets and Letters, With the Tractate on Education and Areopagitica In one of the most memorable passages of Milton's prose writings, published at the very beginning of his activity as a pamphleteer, he makes a significant confession concerning his use of prose: "I should not choose this manner of writing, wherein knowing myself inferior to myself...

Excerpt from Little Masterpieces The admirers of Swift who may chance to turn the leaves of this little volume will be interested, I think, to find that it opens with passages from the Journal to Stella. Many of the books in the Little Masterpieces series have contained personalia of one sort or another, but in none of the volumes bith erto has the intimate life of the writer rep resented been SO emphasized in the order of selections. But rea...

Excerpt from The Amateur Spirit The half dozen essays that are printed in this volume have sufficient unity, I hope, to justify their publication as a book. The emotions of the author who discovers that he has produced a treatise when he intended only a series of essays may be likened to the surprise of the child who observes that his blocks, piled almost at random, make something that looks like a castle after all. My castle is indeed but a ...

Excerpt from Life and Letters of Henry Lee Higginson The material for a life of Henry Lee Higginson is abundant. He had a fondness for keeping letters and memoranda, and the correspondence to which I have had access is enormous in quantity, and covers a period of more than seventy years.
