Woolf's second collection of critical writings, this volume contains twenty-six essays on the most brilliant figures in three centuries of English literature ranging from the magnificent Jack Mytton, and Mary, the high-handed, hot-blooded wife of Shelley, to the little, whimsical, religious Christina Rossetti and the bedeviled George Gissing. Other essays critique the work and character of Defoe, Swift, Hazlitt, Hardy, and Meredith.
