Interpretations of Literature

The book features a collection of essays originally delivered as lectures by a professor at the University of Tokyo, exploring a range of literary figures and themes, including Shakespeare, Poe, and the supernatural in fiction. It also delves into English poetry and unique topics like poems about insects. Selected and edited by John Erskine, this reprint of the 1915 edition offers insights into the evolution of literary thought during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
