Overview

""Procession of Masks"" is an insightful collection of literary essays and biographical sketches authored by the distinguished critic Herbert S. Gorman. Through a series of evocative portraits, Gorman explores the intellectual and creative identities of several prominent literary figures, examining the ""masks"" they presented to the world and the artistic truths hidden behind them. The work features astute analysis of influential writers such as Edwin Arlington Robinson, Emily Dickinson, Oscar Wilde, Thomas Hardy, and W.B. Yeats. Gorman's approach combines biographical narrative with deep critical reflection, offering readers a nuanced perspective on the motivations and temperaments that shaped modern literature. His prose captures the transition between Victorian sensibilities and the burgeoning modernist movement, making this collection a valuable artifact of early 20th-century literary thought. Whether discussing the haunting isolation of Dickinson or the aestheticism of Wilde, Gorman provides a compelling look at the intersection of personality and craft.
