The article presents information on the book "Ellen Terry and Bernard Shaw: A Correspondence," edited by Christopher Saint John. Despite the profusion of sweethearts, darlings dearests, and other such excursions into amorous terminology and despite the emphasis laid by the publisher's press agents upon its rich flavor of love, this is an impersonal book. The motions of love, at least on the part of its male contributor; are duly gone through, and on the part of his visioned Dulcinea there is an occasional shrewd imitation of reciprocation, but as for any real love story told through the medium of letters the impression gained is of a game of "post office" rather than anything resembling the grand passion. |
