Letters to Dead Authors
Published in the late 19th century, 'Letters to Dead Authors' by Andrew Lang is a collection of twenty-two humorous and acerbic letters addressed to various deceased literary figures. Originally inspired by a suggestion from the editor of the 'St. James's Gazette,' many of these letters first appeared in that journal. Lang's correspondence blends wit and literary critique, offering insights into the authors' works while reflecting his own tastes and opinions, making it a notable exploration of literary dialogue across time.
