Agnes Repplier was the great American essayist of the well-turned aside - bookish, dry, and entirely unimpressed by fashion. These pieces wander wherever they like: on leisure, on reading, on the small absurdities of being a person with opinions. Company rather than instruction, and the wit has not dated a day.
