A companion to his earlier Virginibus Puerisque, this 1882 collection is the more critical volume of the two. “The readings of a literary vagrant, ” according to the author, these conversational essays read more like short stories about their subjects. Included among the nine pieces are, “Victor Hugo’s Romances, ” “Some Aspects of Robert Burns, ” “Henry David Thoreau: His Character and Opinions, ” and “Charles of Orleans.”
