The article discusses the book "Literature in a Changing Age," by Ashley H. Thorndike. The phenomena which English literature exhibits in changing from its exclusive, institutional character, devoted to the cultivated interests of the few, to its present inclusive, universal appeal in serving the uses of the many, is the subject of Thorndike's book. The social influences under which the change took place are dealt with in his chapter on The Reading Public.
