Intentions was at the height of his form, these brilliant essays on art, literature, criticism, and society display his famous wit and breadth of learning. On every page of this collection the gifted literary stylist admirably demonstrates not only that the characteristics of art are "distinction, charm, beauty, and imaginative power," but also that criticism itself can be raised to an art form possessing these very qualities.
