Quotations
“If criticism is to be more than an academic diversion a critic should not be content to play about inside a man’s work as though it was a glass bowl suspended in a vacuum. "
Dawnist was Kingsmill's word for those infected with unrealistic or utopian idealism — the enemy as far as he was concerned. His large output includes criticism essays and biographies parodies and humour as well as novels and edited a number of anthologies.
