Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Charles Dickens
But within the last few years a reaction, distinct and strong, from this depreciation, has come about. Critics like Andrew Lang, William E. Henley, George Gissing and C. K. Chesterton, widely di vergent in type and view, but trained observers all and of commanding in?uence, have come forth in valiant appreciation of the man of Gadshill. And they are a unit in this: that while they are not blind to the faults of their author, they recognize the dominant and representative quality of a man of genius who has done great things and still exercises an indubitable magic.
