The Dynamics of Literary Response
By
NORMAN N. HOLLAND,
State University of New York at Buffalo.
Until
now there has been little disciplined inquiry into the relation of literature to the
mind of man. Mr. Holland approaches the problem armed with a thorough
understanding of psychoanalytic concepts, and develops a comprehensive theory
of the psychology of literature. "It will come to be recognized as the indispensable
reference point for future discussion of the subject it treats."-FREDERICK CREWS,
University of California, Berkeley.

Striking the Stones
By
DANIEL HOFFMAN,
University of Pennsylvania.
The poems in this dis–
tinguished collection have the integrity of their natural rhythms and a language
at once spare, accurate, and surprising. Their occasions range from a war and a
landscape "whose archetypes/have not yet been dreamed" to touch the invisible
world behind the visible, whether among the natural creatures, in love, or
among the signatures of an older order of feeling. "His is a poetry of a most
civilized mind
from his strong restraints burst dazzling powers."-RICHARD
EBERHART
