Arthur Woolgar Verrall (1851-1912) was a classicist, a lecturer,
and the first Professor of English Literature at the University of
Cambridge. During his academic career he published several works of
scholarship, chiefly critical studies, editions, and translations
of classical Greek and Latin texts, but also critiques of modern
literature. In this collection of literary essays, published
posthumously in 1913, the subjects of criticism range from Dante's
epic poetry to Sir Walter Scott's prose, demonstrating the breadth
of Verrall's literary consciousness and interest. This anthology
was edited by M. A. Bayfield and J. D. Duff and includes a
ninety-four-page memoir of the author, a transcript of his memorial
inscription from the antechapel of Trinity College, Cambridge, and
a commemorative address by J. W. Mackail.
