Literature in the Making, By Some of Its Makers (Classic Reprint)

In these days of specialization it is more than ever true that the man who lectures and writes about the craft of writing seldom has the time or the inclination to show, by actual work, that he can apply his principles. On the other hand, the successful novelist, poet, or playwright de votes himself to his craft and seldom attempts to analyze and display the methods by which he ob tains his effect, or even to state his opinion on matters intellectual and aesthetic. Now, the professor of English and the literary critic are valuable members of society, and the development of literature owes much to their counsel and guardianship.
