It is a truth universally acknowledged that literary critics are the most annoying people in the world... Critics play a role in determining which books published today should be branded 'instant classics,' which authors are best described as 'little-known' and which books published in past decades or centuries merit re-examination.
Reissues are about readers recovering what is worthy about another world. As one early 2000s reissue of a perhaps forgotten 1953 classic had it, 'the past is a foreign country.'
