A Literary Editor Looks Back

Abstract

Since nearly everyone reads books, it follows that they must have a wide influence on public opinion calling, one would think, for close critical attention by the newspapers. For books are news: not only informative books that extend knowledge; but novels that diffuse fresh ideas destined, perhaps, to create important social changes—they, too, are news.
