Book Description
Excerpt from Miscellaneous Prose Works, Vol. 2 of 3 Authors, seen in the body, are expected to be exactly like what the readers of their books choose to imagine them. And when they differ from such visionary type they are regarded with an indignation akin to that which is felt for an impostor. If a philosopher profound as Aristotle present himself to the eye, as Aristotle is said to have done, sprucely dressed as a youthful gallant, or a poet charming as Goldsmith contrast the beauty and grace of his verse by homely features and a clownish address, resentful admirers pass at once into the ranks of malignant critics. Out of this kind of disappointment has arisen a very popular notion that authors are altogether insincere deceivers, and that their books convey no likeness of their real characters as men. But if the personal appearance of an author disappoint the spectator, it does not necessarily follow that he is an impostor; nay, he would perhaps be more justly exposed to that charge if, instead of disappointing, he had realized the popular expectation.
