Summary:

Excerpt from Crumbling Idols: Twelve Essays on Art, Dealing Chiefly With Literature, Painting and the Drama This book is not a history; it is not a formal essay: it is a series of suggestions. I do not assume to speak for any one but myself, being an individualist, and the power of this writing to destroy or build rests upon its reasonableness, simply. It does not carry with it the weight of any literary hierarchy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
