Herbert Read, Critic

Grattan, C. Hartley | February 12, 1930 issue

The article presents an overview of the book "The Sense of Glory," by Herbert Read. Read appeals to the writer as one of the most important of living English critics. Though he is not yet well known in this country, it is my conviction that "The Sense of Glory" will bring him a wide audience among intelligent readers. The first requirement for a truly modern literary criticism is that it incorporate into its methodology the relevant contributions of the ancillary sciences. Read meets this requirement excellently.
