The Complete Poems of
Frederiok Goddard Tuckerman
Edited, with an introduction by
N. SCOTT MOMADAY,
University of
California, Santa Barbara. Critical for eword by
YVOR WINTERS.
"This complete edition of Frederick Tuckerman's poems is a literary
event of importance. He was one of the few fine original poets of the
later nineteenth century in the United States. He published only one
volume of verse.. .. an excellent job of editing by Mr. N. S. Momaday.
It is thus for the first time now possible to acquaint oneself with the whole
of Tuckerman's work."-EDMUND WILSON

Jane Austen
A Study of Her Artistic Development
By
A. WALTON LITZ,
Princeton University.
Lately, critics of Jalne
Austen's fiction have stressed the "subversive" side of her art, the com·
plexity of her irony, and have maintained that her narrative methods
are closer to those of the modern novelist than to the average nineteenth·
century writer. Without discarding the achievements of these recent
critics, Professor Litz reassesses the traditional as well as the radical
qualities of her art. He treats her work as both the culmination of the
eighteenth-century novel and the beginning of the modern novel. $5.75
The Machine in the Garden
Technology and the Pastoral Ideal in America
By
LEO MARX,
Amherst College.
For generations Americans have
tried to rec.oncile two conflicting images of their country: a simple, rural
paradise opposed to an urban industrial complex. "Professor Marx ranges
wide through our history and literature and deep into the American
mind. For students of America, whatever their special interests, this is a
book of the first
importance."-Virginia Quart.erly R eview.
"It
is a
stunning j.ob and I suspect it will make a permanent niche for itself."
