The Times Literary Supplement devotes a leading article to a study of Van Wyck Brooks. It finds that “The Flowering of New England” makes clear the change which has taken place in its author’s point of view both as to the Puritan quality of New England culture and as to the value to be set upon the idealism which was that culture’s highest expression. Geoffrey West, in The London Mercury, regards Mr Brooks as having achieved, in his latest book, that always rare thing, a work of scholarship which is also indubitably a work of art.
