The Lizy South
By
DAVID' BERTELSON,
University of California, Berkeley.
"A book of re–
markable 'subtlety and originality. By examining in detail the attitude of
colonial and ante-bellum Southerners towards the meaning and function
of work, Bertelson has given us a new understanding of basic Southern
social values and ideas of community.... He may well have come closer
to the elusive 'mind of the South' than any writer since W.
J.
Cash."

By
RICHARD POIRIER,
Rutgers University.
"A profoundly penetrating study
that exposes the very roots of the American literary imagination and it
does this with extraordinary SUbtlety and sensitivity.

of California, Berkeley

The Influence of Ezra Pound
By
K. L.
GOODWIN. "Mr. Goodwin has written a readable and useful book,
and it really fills a gap in Pound studies... Even critics who are luke–
warm about Pound's own achievement in poetry have always praised his
helpfulness and usefulness to younger poets, and his technical influence
is generally assumed to be wide, but Mr. Goodwin is the first writer to
make a detailed examination of Pound's effect on other poets."-The
