Présentation de l'éditeur
Walter Savage I andor. Even the student of literature, unless he is specially well read and himself a classicist, is apt to know little of the author of Count Julian, Gebir, and the Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and Statesmen and his rare devotion to the Roman Muse. Nevertheless, he was in many respects a remarkable figure in the literary life and activities of his age, an unrivalled prose writer, and a poet of the motherland of many and great gifts, of whom so high an authority as Swinburne affirms that he has won for himself such a double crown of glory in verse and in prose as has been won by no other Englishman but Milton. The eulogy may seem extravagant ;but it comes from one who can well appreciate the rare craftsmanship of a fellow poet and man of letters, for lyandor, whatever he lacked in imagination, had an incomparable literary style and did much fine creative work, however wanting it was in continuity, in unifying power, and in the qualities that inflame, inspire, and abide in the human heart. With all his defects, which, however, are mainly those of character and temperament, Landor is nevertheless worthy of high honor, and his genius should win for him a more exalted place in the annals of letters. What a new century may do for him and his reputation, it would be idle to speculate upon. Hitherto he has sung but to the few and fit, and with all his accomplishments he has, in great measure, failed to win the ear of the world, or to be known save, for the most part, through anthologies and treasuries of choice prose.
