Reviews

[Mir]

Altick chooses, interestingly, to open this collection of essay with a close reading of "The Grammarian's Funeral," Browning's criticism of the bookish life. Then there are a couple more essays on Browning. I'm skipping ahead of Carlyle. Altick is an intelligent reader and a clear writer. The papers collected here are related thematically but it is fine to just pick out the ones that interest you.
