Literary Recreations (1918)

Literary Recreations is a collection of essays and reviews written by Edward Tyas Cook, a British journalist and biographer, and published in 1918. The book includes Cook's reflections on various literary works, authors, and genres, ranging from Shakespeare and Milton to modern novelists such as H.G. Wells and Joseph Conrad. Cook's essays explore themes such as the nature of poetry, the role of the critic, and the relationship between literature and society. He also offers insightful critiques of individual works, examining their strengths and weaknesses and placing them in their historical and cultural contexts. Literary Recreations is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of a thoughtful and well-read literary critic, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and analysis of English literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
