A Critical Study of the Works of Four British Writers: Margaret Louisa Woods (1856 – 1945), Mary Coleridge (1861 – 1907), Sir Henry Newbolt (1862 – 1938)…

This work assigns a rightful place in the English literary canon to four authors wrongly forgotten or marginalized. Each chapter on one of the four authors is subdivided into sections that present the writer’s life, discussions of their writings, which are organized by genre (fiction, poetry, verse drama, and critical prose), and their connections with other writers of the day. The author draws not only on published sources but on many unpublished sources as well, including letters, to create a book about a literary period of dramatic transition.
