and good sense, not of 'magic' and seductive sounds", and praised Vines' "admirable account of the main drift of classicism". A reviewer in The Review of English Studies described it as "a very stimulating and provocative book" which would encourage a reconsideration of Augustan literature. At Hull he was a colleague, friend and neighbour of the economist Eric Roll. Vines' students at Hull included Harold Andrew Mason. In 1930 Vines he married his second wife, Agnes Rennie Cumming; their daughter, Rennie J. Vines, was born in 1933. His travel book Yofuku, or, Japan in Trousers was published in 1931 and overlaps to a degree with Humours Unreconciled. It contains numerous references to his time at Keio and discussion of the perceived eccentricities of Japanese society, customs and cuisine. Vines described the typical Japanese student as "personally as a rule most charming, and sometimes a trifle pathetic", and noted divergent attitudes among Japanese people toward foreigners. In the book Vines also sought to establish connections between features of Japanese life and the Japanese climate and cuisine. William Snell has argued that Yofuku portrays Japan in a less positive light than Humours Unreconciled, and reflects Vines' "particularly jaundiced view of [Japan] and its people". A reviewer in Pacific Affairs criticised Vines' focus on the aspects of Japanese life he found less pleasant, and asserted that "the informed reader, particularly one who has lived in Japan," would find it incomplete and one-sided, concluding "it is hard to imagine any considerable public for the book or any way in which that public could be served by its appearance." Return, Belphegor!, a fantasy novel about the devil, was published in 1932. Georgian Satirists was published in 1934. In 1941 Green to Amber, a novel about English society in the late 1930s, was published. In 1950 Vines published A Hundred Years of English Literature, a survey of literature produced in the United Kingdom, United States and British Empire from around 1830. Reviewing it for Books Abroad, John Paul Pritchard described Vines as "a staunch defender of the Victorians" and noted the book's incomplete coverage of American literature. Robert Withington, reviewing the book in the CEA Critic, likewise noted certain omissions and argued that much of the book's material would be too obscure for students and too contentious and incomplete for academics. Vines remained at Hull until his retirement in 1952, and died in 1974. Works Poetry
