A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF
ARTHUR WALEY
by
Francis
A.
Johns
"Is there a student of Chinese and Japanese culture who is not deeply
indebted to the late Arthur Waley? For 60 years he was the pre–
eminent translator of the traditional literature of China and Japan
and the author of numerous studies of their philosophy, religion, and
art. How extensive his writings were has never been completely known,
that is, until this thorough bibliography was compiled by Francis A.
Johns, librarian, Rutgers University. Mr. Johns has listed systemati–
cally Waley's many translations [including
The Tale of Genji, The
Analects of Confucius, Monkey,
and
The No Plays of Japan],
criti–
ques, commentaries, and reviews. The bibliographical entries are
painstakingly accurate, and there are compiler's notes on editions
and impressions."-Library

THE PEDDLER AND OTHER
DOMESTIC MATTERS
by
Hollis Summers
The poems in this new volume continue their author's sensitive and
often witty exploration of the experiences and insights of the middle–
aged American in a variety of worlds. Nature, for one, the family for
another, and the inner world of self for a third. "Hollis Summers takes
us on a trip around the world to show us, not a fountain in Rome, but
people. He deals mostly with the oneness of all who share the earth,
and with our common mortality. He is writing, of course, about him–
self, because he is good enough to know that a poet cannot write
about anyone else.... Summers has an easy hand; he employs the
devices of both conventional poetry and contemporary language with–
out awkwardness. There is no stiffness, and no grand flourishes .•.
good reading."-MILLER WILLIAMS,
Saturday Review.
