To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Nobody can be surprised if some of the gaiety and exuberance and fun got no less into his man- ner towards the people whose habit is to shield their eyes with the spectacles of convention.
Beardsley had a keen sense of humour that helped him to snatch all the joy there is in the old, time- honoured, youthful game of getting on the nerves of established respectability. Naturally, so Robert Ross, his friend, has said of him, "he pos- sessed what is called an artificial manner"; that is, his manne...r was called affected, as was his art, because it wasn't exactly like everybody else's.
I have never yet come across the genius whose manner was exactly like everybody else's, and shyness, self-consciousness, counted for some- thing in his, at least at the start. He had only to exaggerate this manner, or mannerism, to set London talking. It was the easier because ru- mours quickly began to go about of the darkened room in which he worked, of hds turning night 182 NIGHTS: IN LONDON into day and day into night like Huysmans's hero, and of this or of that strange habit or taste, •until people began to see all sorts of things in him that weren't there, just as they read all sorts of things into his drawings that he never put into them, always seeking what they were determined to find.
