This is work of good deal of
research and discriminating Judgment,
and of critical ability. A preliminary
note explains that the omission of sew
.eral modern povelists and of some who,
though included, are not represented by
their most mature work, is due, not TO
lack of critical appreciation on the
part of the editors, but to copyright
restrictions.
The first volume treats of "The
Growth and Technique of the English
Novel; Glove Scenes,' "Historic
Personages, - and "Epics of Conflict. -
