 The Good of a Bad Review
Back in the early 19th century, the dim but industrious poet Robert Montgomery had grown dangerously used to extravagant praise, until a new book of his poems was given to the great historian and mighty reviewer Lord Macaulay.
The results set all England laughing and Montgomery on the road to oblivion, where he still is, his fate at Macaulay's hands being his only remaining claim to fame.
Montgomery's high style was asking to be brought low and Macaulay no doubt told himself that he was only doing his duty by putting in the boot.

Robert Montgomery's work in the late 1950s and early 1960s, for example, considered style and rhythm, imagery and unifying themes, and set forth a theory that the structure of Astrophil and Stella follows shifts in the psychology of Astrophil.
There were also numerous studies of the connections between the major parts of the work: the main plot and the comic subplot, the earlier Asian adventures of the young heroes and their later intrigues in Arcadia, the prose narration and the pastoral eclogues.
The work of Richard Lanham, Robert Eril Levine, Dorothy Connell, Richard McCoy, Alan Sinfield, and others placed new emphasis on such things as the irony and the playful unreliability of Sidney the narrator, the constant cross-currents of dialectically opposed values in the speeches of his characters, and the difficulty of judging their actions.

In The Visionary D. Lawrence Robert E. Montgomery places Lawrence in the tradition both of great Romantic poet-philosophers, including Blake, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Shelley, Carlyle, and Emerson, and of visionary thinkers Nietzsche, Heraclitus, and Jacob Boehme.
Dr Montgomery reveals a context which illuminates Lawrence's fiction and non-fiction, discusses his work in depth, and shows how his place in the prophetic-poetic tradition differs from that of his contemporaries Eliot and Yeats.
