Excerpt from Dramatic Scenes From Real Life, Vol. 1 of 2 It is no easy matter to write up, or down, to the present state of British literature. It may seem "affectatious, look you," (as parson Hugh has it, ) to say that literature is leisure; but its existence, in its most palmy state, indicates an epoch in society, when the public have time to read, what authors have time to write. Such were the great ages, when nations, after a long and fevish struggle, subsided into some new and settled order: - the ages of Augustus, of Lewis the Fourteenth, and of Queen Anne. The civil wars of Rome, terminating in Imperial tyranny, the League and Fronde, fatal to the French aristocracy, - and the more glorious civil wars of England, achieving liberty and prosperity for an emancipated nation, each left the public mind leisure to stoop from its high quarry of political change, to sport in regions of purer intellect, and play with interests less mundane and positive. Such, however, is not the present epoch. We are living in an era of transition. Changes moral and political are in progress. The frame of the constitution, the frame of society itself, are sustaining a shock, which occupies all minds, to avert, or to modify; and the public refuses its attention to literary claimants, whose pretensions are not either founded on utility, or backed by the brilliancy or brevity of their appeals. Publishers and theatrical lessees, who complain of the times, overlook this fact. Deceived by the stale philosophy of the little back-parlour behind the shop, or the old jargon of the green-room behind the scenes, they talk of bringing back the public taste; instead of following its changes. There is no legitimate literature, as there is no legitimate drama. Those who would live by the world, must live in it, and with it; and adapt themselves to its form and pressure; for it is in vain that they attempt to force society to be amused what has ceased to be amusing.

Excerpt from Poems, Dialogues in Verse, and Epigrams, Vol. 1 of 2: Dramatic Scenes But with his verse the case is different. Lines there are in his poems, and even long passages, written with a pen cut from an eagle's feather. But in too many cases the ink has flowed from a humbler quill. He never attained that mastery over verse, which would have made it an instrument fit to express all his thoughts and fancies; for the aptest utterance of his graver and more majestic thoughts the reader must turn to Landor's prose. He was not unaware of this himself. In his prose works there are many passages which show the pride he took in his command of language. Many men have said with Horace, exegi monumz'm'um aere perelzniur. Few have expressed that conviction as majestically as Landor. What I write, he says in one place, is not written on slate; and no finger, not that of Time himself, who dips it in the mist of years, can efface it. But of his verse he never speaks so confidently. He ranked himself as the best Of living prose writers, but in poetry he felt that there were men living who were his masters. He speaks with indifference of men who borrowed from his prose; he bitterly resented what he believed to be a theft from Gebir, committed by Wordsworth. In a man of Landor's temper this is no small indication that in his inmost heart he mistrusted his success as a poet.

Nicoll's History, which tells the story of English drama from the reopening of the theatres at the time of the Restoration right through to the end of the Victorian period, was viewed by Notes and Queries (1952) as 'a great work of exploration, a detailed guide to the untrodden acres of our dramatic history, hitherto largely ignored as barren and devoid of interest'.
