More and more the shy, wild, beautiful spirit that was Lafcadio Hearn in his book "Essays in European and Oriental Literature," is emerging from the fine dust of controversy which for a time almost threatened to conceal his essential quality. Owing partly to Hearn's erratic personality, partly to his outspokenness, but most of all to his revealing and voluminous correspondence, this singular figure in American literature seemed to step from life into legend-with no twilight zone between. His commentators were like so many prowling literary buttonholers, intent upon exploiting their theories at any cost.
