"Cobwebs from a Library Corner" by John Kendrick Bangs is a collection of humorous verses and light poetry, written in the late 19th century. This work provides a whimsical commentary on literature, authorship, and the eccentricities of readers and writers. The book likely appeals to bibliophiles, as it reflects on the joys and quirks of book collecting and the written word. Through clever verse, Bangs explores various themes, including the nature of authorship, literary ambition, and the humorous struggles of characters in the literary world. Each piece whimsically portrays the interplay between authors and their creations, as well as the sometimes absurd perspectives of book collectors and critics. This collection deftly combines satire with appreciation for literature, offering insights into both the passion for and the comedic side of writing, reading, and literary culture as a whole.
