Excerpt from Morality in English Fiction Which he sees that it is a special work, with very palpable if not very well' defined boundaries and particularly will the success of the latter depend upon his faithfulness to Art - the one master whom he has chosen to serve - the faithfulness of the single eye which, being always lovingly fixed upon some ideal which he must needs em body, has no inclination to wander in search of some duty to enforce, some dogma to defend. I, for one, feel so drawni to the real truth which the maxim endeavours to express that I often fancy I detect violations of the Spirit' of its teaching in quarters where even fanatical reverence is paid to the letter of it, and am inclinedto think, for instance, that the poems in which Mr. Swinburne makes his melodious assaults upon the theological and ethical notions of the majority of his country men are, so far as this one matter is concerned, as truly inartistic as the metrical compositions in which Cowper inculcates his tea-table moralities' or the little hymns in which Dr. Watts expounds his Sunday School pieties. 1' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
