Abstract

John Morley, Liberal
November 22, 1917 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Recollections," by John Viscount Morley. This work provokes reflection in the reader, and one of the questions he finds himself asking is wherein lie its peculiar appeal and charm. The volumes do not easily submit to classification. They cannot be slipped off-hand into a waiting pigeon-hole. What Viscount Morley here gives us is not autobiography, though there is a dash of it. It is not history, though it contains stuff of which history is made. Nor is it philosophic comment on the pageant of his own time, nor literary appreciation, nor personal character-sketching, though all of these and other ingredients are readily savored.
