 The New Yorker: Fact
Collins wrote Gosse a number of grateful letters: “I thoroughly believe in your haven, and your genius and your ultimate success—success I mean in the highest sense of the word.” Gosse, not knowing that for Churton Collins idealization was the stage before destruction, was flattered.
Collins had a talent for invidious distinction and a pained intolerance of the graceful sham; he sifted the evidence of literature as if he were a detective.
Churton Collins was active in the University Extension Movement, which was attempting to make education more widely available, and he believed that English universities were failing to recognize the strengths of English literature—endowing chairs in Anglo-Saxon but none for scholars of Shakespeare or Milton, and teaching “Macbeth” only as an exercise in Elizabethan grammar.
