Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prophets of Dissent: Essays on Maeterlinck, Strindberg, Nietzsche, and Tolstoy Here they are, my fifty Men and Women Authors, arranged alphabetically, from Ade (George) to Zangwill (Israel). If, reader, you find some of your favourites omitted, please remember that there was a former book called Authors and I. This new volume, most of which was written in America, is named, naturally, More Authors and I. For I was allowed to acquire the habit of writing these studies, week by week, for The Christian Science Monitor, and as, Mr. Frederick Dixon, then Editor of that excellent journal, liked them, and after Authors and I was published said encouragingly, Carry on, I continued to write about the authors to whom I reacted, for some reason or another, at the moment, even such far-away figures as George Eliot and Herbert Spencer. And I am doing it still. For authors (and their vicissitudes) are many and persistent, and new ways of regarding them open unceasingly, like new dawns.
