Todd describes the ideology of the educated westernized gentry, then charts the possibilities for literary life: first patronage, the salons, popular literature, then rapid emergence of an incipient literary profession. He explores the interactions of literature and society as writers "discovered" their own milieu and were discovered by it.

William Todd's 1922 work is a practical volume on wine for the amateur. It was designed to provide basic knowledge to allow the average consumer to buy, serve, store, and enjoy wine correctly. The volume also includes a glossary of commonly used wine terms.
