The Art of Lionel Johnson.

£24 · Offered by Maggs Bros Ltd

pp. 525-63. The clumsiness of Plarr’s affectionate tribute (Johnson’s burial in Kensal Green was apparently “in sound of melodious factory-hammers that he, in his large-hearted way, would have loved to listen to alive”) only reinforces the elegance of Johnson’s own critical writing. A fine copy.
