But above all, Morua is a recognized master of novelized biographies (Dumas, Balzac, Victor Hugo, etc.). Therefore, the writer's appeal to the genre of literary portrait - a kind of mini-biography, a small essay about any of his colleagues was not accidental. This book Morua is entirely devoted to English literature, the specifics of its development, which resulted in the emergence of such world-famous writers as Charles Dickens, Oscar Wilde, Rudyard Kipling, Herbert Wells, Bernard Shaw. Morua, who wrote these essays in the 1920s and the first half of the 1930s, was concerned with the influence of English authors on the whole of European literature, and the fate of the creative legacy of his closest contemporaries - Lytton Strachey, Katherine Mansfield, David Herbert Lawrence, Aldous Huxley and others.
