"Gods of Modern Grub Street: Impressions of Contemporary Authors" by A. St. John Adcock is a collection of literary impressions written in the early 20th century. The book provides insights into various contemporary authors of the time, including figures like Thomas Hardy, Hilaire Belloc, and Arnold Bennett, shedding light on their contributions and stylistic nuances. Adcock's work serves not only as an examination of these writers but also as a commentary on the literary landscape of the period. The opening of the book sets the tone for an exploration of literary figures, beginning with an analysis of Thomas Hardy. Adcock reflects on Hardy's evolution from a novelist to a respected poet, emphasizing his deep connection to the rural English landscape and the complex philosophies that underpin his works. Adcock discusses Hardy's major achievements and the criticisms he faced, particularly regarding his more controversial themes in novels like "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" and "Jude the Obscure". Through this examination, Adcock captures the significance of Hardy's contributions to literature and offers a glimpse into the broader contexts of contemporary literary conversations.
