“These papers were originally published as prefaces to the separate books of Dickens in one of the most extensive of those cheap libraries of the classics which are one of the real improvements of recent times. Thus they were harmless, being diluted by, or rather drowned in Dickens. My scrap of theory was a mere dry biscuit to be taken with the grand tawny port of great English comedy; and by most people it was not taken at all--like the biscuit. Nevertheless the essays were not in intention so aimless as they appear in fact. I had a general notion of what needed saying about Dickens to the new generation, though probably I did not say it. I will make another attempt to do so in this prologue, and, possibly fail again." (Summary by G. K. Chesterton)Copyright Essays Genre アート 文学史・文学批評

    2026/08/01
    "Is Shakespeare Dead" by Mark Twain presents a thought-provoking exploration of the Bard's legacy and the enduring questions surrounding his work. Twain's sharp wit and critical eye challenge the reverence often afforded to Shakespeare, inviting listeners to reconsider the nature of literary genius and the cultural narratives that shape our understanding of great authors. This audiobook resonates today as it encourages a critical examination of established norms and the value we place on artistic figures. By engaging with Twain's arguments, audiences will find themselves reflecting on the relevance of literary criticism and the importance of questioning authority in the arts.
