About this ebook
In Fame and Fiction published in 1901, Bennett analyzes the tastes and whims of the “great public.” He includes chapters on popular authors of his day: J. M. Barrie, George Gissing, Ivan Turgenev, George Moore, and even some whose popularity was more fleeting. Underlying all is Bennett’s fervent democratic belief that Fame dies but the Soul lives.
