Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Books and Culture
Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, Goethe, and their fellow-artists, are always coming into the open court of pub lic opinion, and the estimate in which they are held is valuable chie?y as affording material for a judgment of the generation which forms it. An age which understands and honours creative artists must have a certain breadth of View and energy of spirit; an age which fails to recognise their significance fails to recognise the range and splendour of life, and has, therefore, a certain inferiority.
