Book Description
Excerpt from The Joy of Youth Those who have descended into the cast room at the British Museum will be aware that copies of the world's masterpieces are there huddled together and displayed to very inadequate advantage. Space is lacking, and the juxtaposition of the pieces is such that they often rob each other of their finest attributes. On a day in autumn it happened that a young man stepped backwards in the cast room to obtain a better view of the Apollo of Tenea. The result of his action was disastrous, for he collided heavily with a girl behind him and nearly brought her to the ground. He flushed, bowed, and made abject apology; she treated the incident lightly, and took it in good part. He was a clean-shorn, athletic youth of six-and-twenty, with a clear, broad forehead, dark hair, and keen grey eyes; she was four years younger, and displayed unusual beauty and distinction of carriage. Her hair was of a light gold, and her eyes were brown. She was tali and rather slight, but straight and strong.

Not illustrated. 1913 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER III LUNCH AT VANESTOWE Three days after her return home there was a little luncheon at her lover's, and Loveday came to it. She arrived on her bicycle, an hour early, and Sir Ralegh met her at the outer gate and walked with her through the woods. Pheasants cried round about them, and the baronet declared that he had seldom known such a successful year. "The spring was just right and the birds came on wonderfully and never had a throw back," he declared. "There'll be too much leaf at the beginning of October, and I shan't shoot much before the big parties. Partridges are. extraordinarily wild. It's a bore; I'm not shooting any too well this year." "Perhaps you're a bit stale," she said, but he could not flatter himself it was so. He went into the possible reasons for his bad form at great length, while she listened and nodded and walked with her arm in his. Knowing that she loved them, he took her into an orchard house, where yellow figs grew, and watched her while she ate. "Who are coming to luncheon? " she asked. "Only the Misses Neill-Savage and Nina Spedding and her brother, and you and your uncle." Loveday made a face. "I hate the Neill-Savages." "They play for their own hand a bit, I admit; but they're sound, and nowadays merely to be sound is something. We shall soon have our backs to the wall; but united we may stand a little longer." "In politics and religion?" "Another fig?" "No; but they are lovely. Come into the pottingsheds. Has Fry got his autumn bulbs yet? I love to see them and touch them before they go into the ground." Sir Ralegh laughed. "What a gardener you are. I believe when you come to live here, you'll want everything turned upside down." "Not I--everything is far too lovely and perfect. I adore things just...

Book Description
More than fifty specialists have contributed to this new edition of volume 4 of The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.
