Appreciations, with an Essay on Style
Pater, Walter
English literature -- History and criticism; Style, Literary
is, of course, part of the obvious business of literary criticism: but,
in the work of literary production, it is easy to be overmuch occupied
concerning them. For, in truth, the legitimate contention is, not of
one age or school of literary art against another, but of all
successive schools alike, against the stupidity which is dead to the
substance, and the vulgarity which is dead to form.
