In this delightful 1906 experiment in literary criticism, the author considers the interplay between an author’s personality and character and the resulting works. Included in the volume are portraits of those he deems moralists (Cardinal Newman, James Martineau), scientists (Thomas Henry Huxley), vagabonds (William Hazlitt, Thomas De Quincy), poets (Keats and Rossetti), novelists (Dickens), and more.
