Excerpt from Tolstoy and His Problems: Essays
Most of the essays here collected have appeared before, and when first published were sent to Count Leo Tolstoy, who on four different occasions wrote expressing his approval of them.
Of the first essay in this book, he wrote:
"I very much approve of it. It is admirably constructed, and what is most important is given."
Of What is Art? An Introduction, he wrote:
"I have read your Introduction with great pleasure. You have admirably and strongly expressed the fundamental thought of the book."
Of Tolstoy's Theory of Art, he wrote:
"Your article... pleased me exceedingly, so clearly and strongly is the fundamental thought expressed."
Of After the Tsar's Coronation (when published in 1896 as Epilogue to a small book), he wrote:
"The Epilogue to Maude's book is excellent... firm and radical, going to the last conclusion."
