Vendler, John Hollander, Robert Penn Warren , and Robert
Lowell are among the distinguished group of scholars, critics,
and poets whose work is included in this volume, together
with Reuben Brower's rare and remarkable interview with
Richards and an annotated bibliography of

breadth and depth of I. A. Richards'
achievement.
