Note 94 — Chapter I · THE ROMANTIC
Reading edition
“He has knowledge, wit, humour, technical skill, cleverness in abundance, some genius, he is a keen observer, a caustic critic. What he lacks is humanity, just that which is the essence of the greatness of the great humourists—Cervantes, Rabelais, Shakespeare.” Walker: Lit. of the Victorian Era, 618. (He explains that humanity in work is meant, not of character.)
