| James on Howells (1886) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| • | He is animated
by a love of the common, the |
|||||||
| immediate, the
familiar and vulgar elements of |
||||||||
| life, and holds
that in proportion as we move into |
||||||||
| the rare and
strange we become vague and |
||||||||
| arbitrary; That
truth of representation, in a word, |
||||||||
| can be achieved
only so long as it is in our power |
||||||||
| to test and
measure it. |
