The Novels of Harriet Beecher Stowe
By
ALICE CROZIER,
Douglass College.
"Her book seems to me to shed more
light on [Harriet Beecher Stowe's] life and character than any other I know of,
and her interpretations and analyses seem to me always interesting and often
brilliant."-KENNETH B. MURDOCK, Harvard University. "This is a much needed
study, one that should
be
in every library and in homes where nineteenth-century
American literature is still considered important."-PHILIP VAN DOREN STERN
$6.50
D. H. Lawrence and the New World
By
DAVID CAVITCH,
Smith College.
"I knew that he was going to write an I
interesting book, but what he
has
in fact written is a splendid one. . . . Mature,
cool, controlled, often brilliantly incisive in its critical intuitions, the book as a
whole is perhaps the most completely honest confrontation with the essential
Lawrence that we yet have and certainly one of the most instructive ... a major
achievement in Lawrence criticism."-MARK SCHORER, University of California,
Berkeley

The Barb of Time
ON THE UNITY OF EZRA POUND'S
CANTOS
By
DANIEL D. PEARLMAN,
Mercer County Community College.

breakthrough in our understanding of this
poet,
and in the future we
shall
all
have to read the
Cantos
more admiringly and with much more confidence in
the consistent purpose of their author."-DoNALD DAVIE, Stanford University.
"The most sensitive and sensible reading of the
Cantos
which I have seen, cer–
tainly the most useful."-LEwIS LEARY, University of North Carolina.

Back to Nature
THE ARCADIAN MYTH IN URBAN AMERICA
By
PETER
J.
SCHMITT,
Western Michigan University.
"With gentle irony of
tone and playfulness of style to relieve his fairly fact-crammed account, Profes–
sor Schmitt traces the rise of gentleman sportsmen, wildlife photographers ,liter–
ary commuters, popular nature writers, wilderness novelists, bird watchers . . . A
well-executed examination of a perennial theme in a specific context."-Kirkus
Reviews.
"A graceful treatment of a minor but interesting chapter in American
social and cultural history."-MAX LERNER.
