Gertrude Stein in Pieces
By
RICHARD BRIDGMAN,
University of California, Berkeley.
"I don't know
of anything else that does what Richard Bridgman has done in this study, which
is to assess every item in the mass of Gertrude Stein's writing on its own merit
and build a picture of her life and career in literature. . . .
It
will supersede
everything else in print as a guide and companion to study of her work."

The Desig,n of Discord
STUDIES OF ANOMIE: SUICIDE, URBAN SOCIETY, WAR
By
ELWIN H. POWELL,
State University of New York at Buffalo.
Three
major manifestations of anomie in modern society are the concern of this new
work. Professor Powell starts with the ultimate act of anomie-suicide-and
then applies the concept to broader social considerations. He specifically dis–
cusses the ways in which the industrial city reflects social unrest and dislocation,
and how war manifests the broadest and most destructive impact of anomie.

William Carlos Williams
AN AMERICAN ARTIST
By
JAMES E·. BRESLIN,

"I've seldom come
across criticism so balanced, unpretentious, honest. Breslin has read virtually
everything on and by Williams, and his book is quietly learned and filled
with fresh insights, presented clearly and enthusiastically. . . . In Breslin the
poet has found a most able and persuasive spokesman."-WILLIAM HEYEN,
