Description: From what Byron really thought of Keats to Cocteau's damning view of Victor Hugo, to Hemingway's evisceration of Wyndham Lewis, here is an anthology of writers on writers, eloquently giving vent to their least charitable feelings in outbursts of spleen, rancour, venom, bitterness, abuse, mockery and petulance.
