Summary "The Taste of Honey: The Note Book of a Linguist" by Edna Worthley Underwood is a personal diary written in the early 20th century. It captures the thoughts and reflections of the author as she traverses through various literary influences, cultures, and philosophical ideas. The diary entries reveal not only Underwood’s own reflections but also her observations on the works of other significant writers and their impacts on her understanding of language and life. At the start of the diary, Underwood introduces her literary influences and musings, starting with her admiration for various authors and their styles. She reflects on poetry and prose, comparing them to her own experiences and thoughts. Notably, she discusses the emotional power of writing, lamenting a perceived decline in the depth of American literature compared to European masterpieces. The opening also touches upon her experiences with different cultures, such as in Venezuela and Europe, and expresses a longing for richer emotional connections found in the literary works of the past. Overall, the opening sets a contemplative and introspective tone, inviting readers to join Underwood in her exploration of language, culture, and art. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
