Reader's note

Beautiful in blue and white! This wonderful Pelican book is a must have addition to any reference library! The definition of the term may have changed but the Man of Letters has always played an important role in English literary life. Here, author John Gross traces the influence of English men of letters from Francis Jeffrey, the first editor of the Edinburgh review, through Carlyle, Arnold, Sir Arnold Quiller-Couch and many others to the advent of F. R. Leavis and Raymond William. This fascinating survey deals not only with their ideas but also with their personalities, careers, social circumstances and politics. An excellent title that will look wonderful on any bookshelf!
