Adcock offers short critical portraits of the leading British writers of the early 1920s, each accompanied by a photograph by E. O. Hoppé. He begins with Thomas Hardy, whose novelist critics drove into poetry, and moves on to Hilaire Belloc, Arnold Bennett, John Buchan, W. H. Davies, Walter de la Mare and many others, mixing career sketches with candid judgments.
