IRISH LITERARY PORTRAITS
" These little portrait studies, some of which have appeared in Life and Letters and in the Dial, New York, are now offered as a slight contribution to an interesting chapter of literary history—the Irish Literary Movement of which Mr. W. B. Yeats was the leading spirit." Such is the modest introduction of Mr. Eglinton to a delightful and wholly charming series of sketches embracing George Russell (A.E.), Edward Dowden and James Joyce, as well as Yeats. Mr. Eglinton knows at first hand those of whom he writes and does it extremely well. Shakespearian students will be particularly grateful to know something of Dowden, and Yeats' place in poetry appears to be so secure that Mr. Eglinton's recollections of him will be exceedingly precious to many. " Irish Literary Portraits," by John Eglinton. (Macmillan.)
