Quite a difficult read for such a small book. The first essay seems somewhat situated in its time. A response to the Oscar Wilde of the 1960s. The second essay, One Culture and the New Sensibility, is more interesting, more applicable, and possibly more universal; even though it is clearly prompted by C. P. Snow's “The Two Cultures”.

The essays are essentially a development of the idea of sensibility as an object. Worth reading.
