Originally published in 1923, this book contains twelve essays on English literature and analysis. Kellett prefaces the collection by saying that, although many of his opinions in the essays will not be universally accepted, 'it will be enough if they provoke thought and stimulate discussion'. Six of the articles concern Shakespeare's style and attitude, while the other half examine authors such as Chaucer, Macaulay and Dryden. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in English literature and historical literary criticism.

Ernest Edward Kellett (1864 1950) was an English writer and literary critic who was senior English master at the Leys School, Cambridge from 1889 to 1924. Originally published in 1928, this book presents a selection of thirteen essays by Kellett on a variety of literary figures and themes. Reflecting the author's often outspoken views, the text contains many 'audacious traversings' of widely held opinions regarding certain figures and 'reconsiderations' of previously held critical positions. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in literary criticism and the writings of Kellett."
