  This book contains edited versions and extracts from Gosse's essays on his friends, many of them the leading writers of his period, such as Tennyson, Rosetti, Robert Louis Stevenson and Henry James. The book is interesting not only because of Gosse's personal reminiscences about these respected and popular literary fitures, but it also makes Gosse's vast output available for the first time to today's reader. This edited collection of Gosse's essays provides easy access to a first-hand account of the literary circles in which he moved.
