A key figure in the history of education and literature
From the cover:
" Collins (1848-1908) was a paradoxical figure; hardworking, good-humored and inspiring as a teacher and lecturer, he was a paranoid and negative reviewer.. His devastating reviews of such prominent figures as Saintsbury, Symonds and Gosse earned him the opprobrium of the aesthetes and literary cliques that dominated the Victorian literary scene.
Collins' real importance however, lies in the central role he played as acoach, University Extension lecturer and finally Professor of English in the campaign to have English Literature adopted as an academic subject in its own right. 185 pages, biblioraphy, indexed. ... Read more

You'll be itching to buy this book!
A brilliantly poignant, and, at times devastatingly moving account of one man's struggle with that most irritating of STDs, pubic lice, this book shows that there's no reason to be ashamed if you've a dose of crabs, and that, with the right treatment, you'll be able to leave your house and start talking to potential partners about sex after a couple of years or so. There really, really isn't anything wrong with having crabs. Nothing wrong at all. Really. Nothing. Crabs are great. ... Read more
