"But if you mean seriously to ask me what critical books I recommend, I can only say that I recommend none. I think as a critic that the less authors read of criticisms the better. You, e.g., have a perfectly fresh and original vein & I think, that the less you bother yourself about critical cannons, the less chance there is of your becoming self-conscious and cramped."
