    About this ebook

    This 1922 collection of acute literary essays includes pieces on Nietzsche, Ibsen, Conrad, Crane, Frost, and others.  The sensibility informing this volume may be inferred from the following, taken from Garnett's preface: "The publisher's reader knows what literary success signifies:  he has no need to cultivate his sense of irony."
