Andrew Lang: A Critical Biography With a Short-Title Bibliography of The Works of Andrew Lang
by: Green, Roger Lancelyn

Hardcover. Leicester UK, Edmund Ward, 1st, 1946, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: Good, Hardcover in a lightly worn and chipped dust jacket, 263 pages. The first attempt to view Andrew Lang's work as a whole, and to attempt some account of the man himself. In specialized fields of scholarship Lang has always held his own; but as a literary figure he has been sadly neglected. Yet the late Sir A. T. Quiller-Couch ranked his style above that of Pater and Stevenson and Kenneth Grahame, and George Saintsbury considered him as among the chief minor poets of his period. As poet and essayist, and also as writer of tales and fairy stories, Andrew Lang at last gets his due in this study. Color frontis. portrait. Name on front fly leaf, otherwise clean.
