| Summary | "Memoirs of Life and Literature" by W. H. Mallock is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The work presents a personal account of Mallock's life, exploring the intersections of his experiences with broader cultural and societal shifts, particularly in England during the 19th century. The memoir delves into his family history, literary ambitions, and notable encounters with prominent figures of his time, providing insights into the social fabric of his era. The beginning of the memoir introduces readers to the author's family background, specifically the Mallocks of Cockington, and their ties to Devonshire's landed gentry. Mallock reflects on the changing world around him as he recounts his childhood observations and the societal dynamics between the aristocracy and the rural poor. He cleverly intertwines personal anecdotes with historical reflections, creating a context for the reader to understand the influences that shaped his literary journey and philosophical perspectives. This opening sets the tone for exploring the richness of Mallock's life while hinting at the critical commentary on the evolution of society and individual aspirations.
