`To Thomas Carlyle the Man of Letters was `our most important modern person`; to Evelyn Waugh he represented an extinct species `like the maiden aunt`.

The definition of the term may have changed but the Man of Letters has always played an important role in English literary life. Here John Gross traces the influence of English men of letters from Francis Jeffrey, the first editor of the Edinburgh Review, through Carlyle, Arnold, Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch and many others to the advent of F. R. Leavis and Raymond Williams. This fascinating survey deals not only with their ideas but also with their personalities, careers, social circumstances and politics.`
