In his obituary for Wilhelm Wetz, Friedrich Meinecke describes Wetz' 1891 critique of ten Brink as a key step on the way from the empiricism of the 1850s-80s and towards an international comparative literary history. Ten Brink's appointment in Strassburg marks the take-off of English philology in Germany, according to Richard Utz, who observes that his History of English Literature introduced "a more explicit way to celebrate popular beliefs of Volksseele, Volksgeist, and Volkscharakter" and cross the lines between academics and a popular audience.

"Dr Sagar sees Lawrence's creative life as falling into four distinct phases:.a period of gradual discovery and growth; a period of mature achievement; a phase of moral and artistic uncertainty, even desperation; and a regeneration to a new art and vision. Dr Sagar is particularly anxious to draw attention to the achievements of this last phase, not only in the fiction, but also in the non-fictional prose, poems, and even paintings. / Each chapter begins with a full chronology dating the works of the years in question in order of composition; and there is an extensive bibliography.".
