The work explores contemporary literature and examines the nature of criticism, particularly focusing on the impact of the novel and the changing dynamics of literary appreciation. Gosse's writing reflects his observations and thoughts on the literary movements of his time, as well as his insights into how democracy influences literature and the roles of both poets and novelists within that landscape. The opening of the collection begins with a preface in which Gosse lays down his approach to the essays, distinguishing them from traditional literary criticism. He presents a case for a more open, conversational style of critique regarding contemporary writers. Gosse expresses his belief that examining the literary scene of one’s own time can be complex and less authoritative due to ever-changing tastes and societal influences. He discusses the predominance of novels over other literary forms and argues that contemporary criticism should engage sincerely with current literature while remaining rooted in fundamental principles of literary quality.
