Book Description

Excerpt from My Literary Passions, Criticism and Fiction The papers, as they appeared from month to month, were not the product of those unities of time and place which were the happy conditioning of My Literary Passions. They could not have been written in quite so many places as times, but they enjoyed a comparable variety of origin. Beginning in Boston, they were continued in a Boston suburb, on the shores of Lake George, in a Western New York health resort, in Buffalo, in Nahant; once, twice, and thrice in New York, with reversions to Boston, and summer excur sions to the hills and waters of New England, until it seemed that their author had at last said his say, and he voluntarily lapsed into silence with the applause Of friends and enemies alike.
