THE ECCENTRIC DESIGN
Marius Bewley.
The unique qualities of the American novel are to be
found, Dr. Bewley shows, at the meeting point between the novelist's own
spiritual and emotional needs and the general American conditions.
He
sees the characteristic American sensibility as grounded in political ten–
sions that dominated the most critical years of the Republic.
$4.00
SHELLEY'S LATER POETRY
Milton Wilson.
Using
Prometheus Unbound
as a center of organization,
Dr. Wilson analyzes the argument and materials of Shelley's poetry during
his Italian period. The critic finds in the mature artistry of these last years
that Shelley's argument and the nature of his figures imply a theory of
p oetry and reveal the workings of his imagination.
