This article focuses on the book "Essays by James Gibson Huneker." Reading writer James Gibson Huneker's essays, one feels creeping over one the revolting suspicion that Huneker, that great iconoclast, had a perverse streak of naughtiness and with somewhat better luck in choosing the objects of his enthusiasm. Huneker was head and shoulders above most contemporary critics. His learning should have made the academicians blush, his perception of the importance of such figures as playwright Henrik Ibsen, was prompt and unhesitating.
