The Sense of Glory

Sir Herbert Read (18931968) was a highly influential English critic and poet. Originally published in 1929 this volume gathers together nine of Read''s essays with each one covering a different author. The essays all of which made their first appearance in The Times Literary Supplement are centred around the concept of ''glory'' and its manifestation in works of a particularly transcendent nature. Written in an engaging style this book will be of value to anyone with an interest in literature and literary criticism.
