A leisurely, genial, and instructive examination of what literature is, and is not; of the value of brevity, of adequate vocabulary, of density of meaning, of the rhythms and cadence of beautiful prose. Many of his observations I think would be self-evident to thoughtful readers, but here presented clearly with many examples and analogies.

"In Meredith's work much seems to be obscured, not by any lack of light but by too much of it; you see his outlines of things blurred with excess of brilliance, as the sun's is at mid-day. Meredith dazes you only too much, as Professor Elton says, with a 'sparkling mist or spray of commentary, an emanation of bewildering light', which he sheds round the characters and events of his novels." p.86

"How much one has to leave out! Here is nothing said, nor room left to say it, about the cardinal difference between the expression of obscurity and obscurity of expression. Of course it is no virtue to say relatively simple things with a relatively high degree of indistinctness. Indeed it must be half the work of education to cure this malady in its grosser forms. You find it in schoolboys 'essays, where it comes of helplessness, and in the work of some minor poets who want to be crepuscular and to bring on Celtic and other twilights, but do not know how. It is for criticism to distinguish this obscurity of the confused or astigmatic mind, or of affectation, or of a small or ill-used vocabulary, from that other element of enigma which may remain when the greatest powers of expression have been most strenuously used." p.91

"War lays its blight on whole peoples." "...they want to be titillated with something novel, flamboyant and sensational..." "Hence many unlucky adventures in letters and art since the Great War -- the laboured unreserve of aphrodisiac novels and plays, the laboured unmelodiousness of much minor verse, the laboured rebellion of many minor painters and sculptors against the nature of their medium and the experience and tradition of their arts." p.144
