This Week: "Through English Eyes"
Kirchwey, Freda | January 2, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on Stephen Spender's book on the U.S., "Through English Eyes." It is friendly, balanced, dispassionate, and wisely observant. He is eager to applaud but not afraid to blame--though his critical tone is carefully diplomatic and he is almost too ready to explain away the faults he points out. He discusses, in one chapter, the tendency in the United States to react to British criticism with a sensitive violence unknown in relations with other countries; and this he ascribes to subtle psychological bonds and antagonisms that have resulted from the original kinship between the U.S. and Great Britain.
