But the spectacle of two men with faces, clothes and gloves besmeared with blood, punching and pummeling each other until they are ready to drop, does not appeal to feminine tastes, and this...
...Study in Swinburne," the last prose article, is a literary criticism of that gentleman as a dramatist, a writer of lyrical poetry, and as a critic of poetry. The article is carefully written and is doubtless of great interest to students of Swinburne. To other readers it cannot be expected to appeal...
