---- Thomas Edmund Smythe was a notable 20th Century novelist turned literary critic. Born on November 2nd 1872, he primarily wrote short stories and satirical articles for various regional newspapers until his early thirties. He gradually turned his hand to literary criticism and, grew to become an accomplished intellectual on vastly varying plays, tales and novels, mostly of English heritage. His areas of particular interest include Milton, Chaucer and Shakespeare, though he was known to have compiled a long list of choice quotations relating to practically any text of major renown from the 1500s onwards. He is also noted to have collaborated on literary criticism with the philosopher and critic Charleston Millar. He died in the late 1940s, with his own work fading into insignificance, but his criticism remaining prominent and useful particularly for students who find it invaluable. |
