Abstract

The reputation of a truly great literary artist is never confined to one particular country. Although the man may write of the country in which he is born and lives and his methods may be influenced by the country, nevertheless if he is great his reputation and appreciation is bound to become universal. Appreciation of art differs not to a great extent but rather to a slight extent. Real art is seldom lost, it is bound to be found even though the finding may take time. Some art, like the pearl, is hidden deep in the sea and is found only after a search is made, other art, like flowers or a beautiful sunset is quickly recognized but it may be lost to recognition very soon. The recognition of literary art is very peculiar. At times masterpieces have been recognized upon their immediate completion, and again they have not been recognized until ages after the death of the author. Further we have cases of an artist not being recognized in his native land but being discovered by foreign lands.
