Naphtali

"Naphtali" is an evocative collection of reminiscences and autobiographical sketches by the acclaimed art critic and editor C. Lewis Hind. In this work, Hind reflects on the various "influences which help to make or mar a life," offering an intimate and sophisticated glimpse into the vibrant literary and artistic circles of late 19th and early 20th-century London and New York.

As the former editor of "The Academy," Hind provides firsthand accounts of his interactions with the period's most influential creative minds. The narrative is rich with anecdotes involving poets, painters, and publishers, serving as a valuable historical record of a transformative era in the humanities. Through these essays, the author discusses the evolution of contemporary literature and the personal encounters that shaped his own aesthetic philosophy.

Naphtali stands as both a personal testament to a life dedicated to the arts and a compelling commentary on the cultural movements that defined a generation. Hind's prose is elegant and thoughtful, making this volume an essential resource for readers interested in the history of criticism and the biographical backgrounds of the modern era's intellectual elite.
