Columbia Essays on Modern Writers is a series of critical
studies of writers in the European tradition whose works
are of contemporary artistic and intellectual significance. The
Columbia series of pamphlets has been designed to provide
students and general readers with brief, authoritative intro–
ductions to European writers and their works. Written by a
well-known scholar and critic, each essay will concern itself
with one author and will contain biographical material, a
critical analysis and evaluation of his work, and a selected
bibliography of his works and of books and articles about
him. The pamphlets will be uniform in size, format, and
price.
The first six pamphlets are:
ALBERT CAMUS, by Germaine Bree
WILLIAM GOLDING, by Samuel Hynes
HERMANN BROCH, by Theodore Ziolkowski
SAMUEL BECKETT, by William York Tindall
CONSTANTINE CAVAFY, by Peter Bien
LAWRENCE DURRELL, by John Unterecker
