I had thought of using 'Men of Genius' as the title for this book, but Arnold Bennett objected seriously, saying, very modestly, that he did not consider himself a man of genius, but merely a working author, and absolutely refusing to join the throng unless I changed it, so I told him that if he would give me a better one I would use it.
Pensei en utilizar 'Men of Genius' como título para este libro, pero Arnold Bennett obxectou seriamente, dicindo, moi modestamente, que el non se consideraba a si mesmo un home de xenio, senón sinxelamente un autor dun traballo, e rexeitou absolutamente unirse á multitude a menos que o cambiase, polo que lle dixen que se me daba un mellor usaríao.
