Literary criticism from the Nobel Prize winner on subjects from Dante to Dickens.

Some one said*: “The dead writers are remote from us because we* know so much more than they did.” Precisely, and they are that which we know.

In Selected Essays, he compiled his most significant works of criticism and theory written between 1917 and 1932.
