THE SENSE OF AN ENDING
Studies in the Theory
of
Fiction
By FRANK KERMODE.
"This
is the most important book
on aesthetics and culture to appear since Rosenberg's
The
Tradition
of
the New
and Sypher's
Loss
of
the Self.
Work–
ing from a fresh and sophisticated premise - the relation–
ship of fictions in life and art juxtaposed against the spirit
of apocalypse, past and present - Professor Kermode has
woven a brilliant, intricately designed investigation into
the structure of the artistic and eschatological imagination
• • • and the filtering of religiOUS, philosophic, and scientific
concepts through the twin movements of history and litera–
ture."- (Special Mention)

A searching examination of
the framework of three major poets
BARBAROUS KNOWLEDGE
Myth in the Poetry
of
Yeats, Graves, and Muir
By DANIEL HOHMAN.
In investigating the use made of
myths and folklore by three renowned poets, Mr. Hoffman
combines a scrupulous exposition of each poet's intellectual
development with a sensitive analysis of individual poems.
"Hoffman is a sensitive and assured guide. The Graves sec–
tion is by far the best thing on the subject and a rare piece
of poet's criticism."-FRANK KERMODE
