Excerpt from Maurice Hewlett: Being a Critical Review of His Prose and PoetryHenry Gay Hewlett, the father of the novel ist, was a student all his life, a writer of verses, and a critic of no mean ability. It is with no little interest that one picks up the Contemporary Review, of December, 1874 to read a critique by H. G. Hewlett upon the poems of William Morris. One can readily believe that a precocious boy, such as the novelist is said to have been, would be in tensely interested in the magazine contribu tions by his father The elder Hewlett, no less than the present one, was interested in medieval topics. It was this, doubtless, which caused the poems of Morris to appeal to him, at the same time that he deprecated the poems of Swinburne, so savagely ¿ayed in the same magazine by Robert Buchanan.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
