Description
This 1922 collection of acute literary essays includes pieces on Nietzsche, Ibsen, Conrad, Crane, Frost, and others. The sensibility informing this volume may be inferred from the following, taken from Garnett's preface: "The publisher's reader knows what literary success signifies: he has no need to cultivate his sense of irony."

Description
The author of this 1914 installment in Constable's Modern Biographies series a felicitous choice, not only because of Garnett's own literary sensibilities but because of the professional talents of his wife, Constance, the leading Russian translator of her day. The result is an insightful, judicious appreciation of Tolstoy and his texts.
