Written in Warner’s humorous and elegant style, Relation of Literature to Life (1896) is a collection of essays emphasizing the author’s belief that all enduring literature is the result of the time in which it is produced and that it responds to that time’s general sentiment. In other words, these essays describe “the connection between our literary, educational, and social progress.” In addition to the title essay, others are on such diverse subjects as Simplicity, Equality, and the Garden of the Tuileries.
