‘Read as one of the masterpieces by a person not acquainted with our literature, it might easily give an impression that this literature is not immense’. Henry James’s words in his introduction to a 1900 edition of Oliver Goldsmith’s The Vicar of Wakefield are a far cry from the unrestrained enthusiasm publishers expect from editors […]
