Excerpt from The Manchester Quarterly, Vol. 10: A Journal of Literature and Art But besides the ethical and critical qualities of the book there are personal qualities and experiences so interwoven with these, that any attempt to review the book merely as it stands, must, to a great extent, fall short of the truth and mistake its meaning. The book embodies so much of the strangely interesting life of its author, that it can only be rightly understood and reviewed when it is treated in connexion with his life. Rarely, indeed, do we come across a life so deeply religious, so highly intellectual, so full of genius and so full Of sorrow as the life of o'conor.
