T'he Landscape of the Mind
PASTORALISM AND PLATONIC THEORY IN
TASSO'S
AMINTA
AND SHAKESPEARE'S EARLY COMEDIES
By
RICHARD CODY,
Amherst College.
This essay examines the philosophic
subtleties of the shepherd's life in certain Renaissance plays and poems. A school
of aesthetic Platonism can be seen informing the
Or/eo
of Poliziano, the
Aminta
of Tasso, and the pastorals of the Elizabethans and Milton.

Letters of Walter Pater
Edited by
LAWRENCE EVANS,
Northwestern University.
Walter Pater has
never been honored--or victimized-by an authorized literary biography. In
the seventy-five years since his death, little has been known of his life and
literary career. His letters, here collected for the first time, shed new light on
an especially elusive personality, and furnish significant details concerning the
career of a major Victorian prose writer. 4

Selected Poems of George Meredith
Edited by
GRAHAM HOUGH,
Darwin College, Cambridge.
Mr. Hough argues
well for Meredith's merit as a poet. His introduction to the
Poems
explains
his
selection and places Meredith's poetry in the contexts of both his life and other
works. Hough believes that this necessary approach to a real appreciation of the
poetry has been generally overlooked by most critics. Included in this volume
are the complete
Modern Love
sequence, longer lyrics and reflective pieces, and
shorter lyrics
and
sonnets.

Congo Reform Movement

w.
R. LOUIS,
Yale University, and
J.
STENGERS,
University of
Brussels.
E. D. Morel, as one of England's most powerful reformers, denounced
the "rubber atrocities" of King Leopold's Congo and stirred the humanitarian
conscience of the English public. Under his leadership the Congo reform move–
ment figured prominently in the political history of England, Europe, and
Africa in the decade prior to the first World War. This volume is Morel's pre–
viously unpublished account of his discovery of the exploitation involved in the
Congo and of the events leading to the founding of the Association in 1904.
