Word Portraits of Famous Writers
'Word Portraits of Famous Writers' Summary
Mabel Elizabeth Wotton, an author herself, presents us with "word portraits," brief vignettes of a person's physical appearance and elements of behavior or personality. These are all drawn from many sources -- biographies, newspapers, or personal friends of the authors. Some descriptions are based on paintings or drawings, but the majority are derived from personal acquaintance. Thus, we have a unique view of these famous artists that we seldom read.Book Details
