Confessions of Two Brothers (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

A self-analyzing piece of literature, this volume demonstrates a critic turning his sharp eye inward. John Cowper wrote his section because he “is always engaged in analyzing the minds of clever artists; let [him] for once, undertake the less pleasing task of analyzing the mind of a clever critic.” Llewelyn’s section contains passages from his diary—many written in the same vein as his brother’s.
