RA DALL 3ARRELL.
Poetry
and the Age.
A brilliant evaluation of the best American
poetry and of many of the foremost English and French
poets, which also includes some trenchant criticism of
present-day criticism itself. Perceptive, witty and simply
human, this is criticism at its very best-written by "a
reader for readers," and not by "a syndicate of encyclo–
pedias for an audience of International Business Ma–
<:hines."
