The Case for the Artist BY an artist I mean Shakespeare and Me and Bach and Myself and Velasquez and Phidias, and even You if you have ever written four lines on the sunset in somebodys album, or modelled a Noah s Ark for your little boy in plasticine. Perhaps we have not quite reached the heights where Shakespeare stands, but we are on his track. Shakespeare can be representative of all of us, or Velasquez if you prefer him. One of them shall be President of our United Artists Federation. Let us, then, consider what place in the scheme of things our federation can claim. Probably we artists have all been a little modest about ourselves lately.

Présentation de l'éditeur
I bought a book the other day. Nobody will believe the statement. For a writer of book-reviews, who is, moreover, employed in a public library actually to buy a book is as strange a thing as for a musical critic to pay admission to a concert. But impressed by this "Buy a book a week" business, I went and purchased a copy of A. A. Milne's "If I May". I thought it a safe thing to do. He wrote some of the best verses, some of the best essays and sketches, of a humorous nature, about the war. He writes good plays. But—well, all I can say is that it served me right.
—Edmund Lester Pearson for The Weekly Review, January 5, 1921
