Abstract

A Love of Life
July 20, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book "Life and Letters of Stopford Brooke," by Lawrence Pearsall Jacks. The extreme diffusion of Brooke, his extreme tolerance and broad sympathy, kept him from concentrating his energies on the somewhat sullen task of hewing out a career, kept him even as a critic from rising above the rank of genial expositor. He was a fighter against formulas of all kinds. But he was a stimulating teacher and to many a consoling presence. There are in the letters good bits of literary reminiscence of Henry James; shrewd criticisms of George Eliot and of Matthew Arnold.
