George Edward Woodberry (1855-1930) stands as a notable figure in American literary scholarship and criticism during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A respected academic and poet, his scholarly work often reflected a deep appreciation for the aesthetic and historical importance of literature and the arts. He served as a professor of literature at Columbia University, where he was revered for his erudition and eloquent lectures. Among his versatile contributions to literary criticism, perhaps none captures his interdisciplinary approach as well as 'A History of Wood-Engraving'. This work showcases his interest in not just literary texts but also the evolution of illustration and the intricate craft of wood-engraving. Within the covers of this detailed study, readers discover Woodberry's ability to weave a narrative that is both authoritative in its scholarship and expressive in its prose. His oeuvre crosses the boundaries of literary genres, incorporating poetry, criticism, and history, and is characterized by its scholarly rigour and a lyrical quality reflective of his poetic sensibilities. Woodberry's legacy includes not only his influential writings but also his mentorship of future literary scholars and his contribution to the elevation of American literary criticism during his lifetime.
