Summary "Essays Literary, Critical and Historical" by Thomas O'Hagan is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. The work explores various literary, critical, and historical topics, showcasing the author's keen insights on literature, education, and the role of women in society. Through these essays, O'Hagan engages deeply with literary analysis and critiques of contemporary thought, particularly in the context of Catholicism and its influence on scholarship. The opening portion of the book introduces the author and outlines the dedication of the essays to French Canadians and Acadians, highlighting O'Hagan's appreciation for their contributions to Canadian culture. He notes the origins of the essays, some of which have been published previously in reputable journals, and discusses his influences and inspirations for writing. The preface also sets the stage for a discussion of significant literary figures and themes, particularly emphasizing the value and impact of Tennyson’s work, along with a critical examination of historical narratives and their representation in poetry and literature.
