Richards (1893–1979), one of the seminal figures of modern literary criticism, was an influential teacher in the Cambridge of the 1920s. His more important works of that time include ‘Principles of Literary Criticism’ (1924), ‘Science and Poetry’ (1926) and ‘Practical Criticism’ (1929). He was one of the founders of Basic English.
This review was reprinted in ‘Living Age’ on 10 April 1926. It also appeared as an appendix in ‘Principles of Literary Criticism’, reissued that same year.
