John La Farge Artist And Writer Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from John La Farge, Artist and Writer Irving's days - seem steeped in a mellow light of culture and sunlit provincial peace which cannot be entirely due to our fancy. All writers of that time speak of the social life as something finished, refined; of trees everywhere in the quiet streets, of frequent excursions along country roads to Bloomingdale, Harlem, and other peaceful country villages. I dwell on this matter because both the old-fashioned culture of their childhood and the sharp contrasts of manhood must have been factors in the development of the Americans of Mr. La F arge's generation.
