Quote by Mary A. Ward
A life spent largely among books, and in the exercise of a literary profession, has very obvious drawbacks, as a subject-matter, when one comes to write about it.
Summary
This quote suggests that a life immersed in books and working in a literary profession can present challenges when attempting to write about it. Presumably, the drawbacks could arise from the lack of diverse experiences outside the world of books, potentially limiting the breadth and depth of personal insights and stories to draw upon. Additionally, writing about a life focused on books may be seen as less relatable or engaging to a wider audience who may not share the same passion for literature.
