although no–

In
the original text,
Whitman's hand was so active in its composi·
tion that the book is a5 much his as Bueke's.
On three occasions Whitman revised the
manuscript. Improving
Bueke's
prose, omit–

other people's articles. and, most impor.
tantly, words, sentences, and whole para·

JOHN UPDIKE
Joyce B. Markle
The 'lrst major work that seeks to make
clear the reason for Updlke's ascension to
the heights of cntlcal success. Begllllling
With THE POORHOUSE FAIR (1958) and
eliding with RABBIT REDUX
(1971)
Joyce
Markle examines In detail the major
thematiC lines that appear In Updlkc's work.
They are the flight from death; the need
for
those characters who give stature and
specialness to those around them; eVidence,
such as handicraft, of man's Impact on hiS
world; the sources of man's sense of Impor·
tance; man's abilities and responsibilities
III
relating to the members of hiS society.
It
IS
Professor Markle's theSIS that not only does
Updike deal With esserllially the same proh·
lems in each of the senous works (excluding
aECH), but that as a group they all demon·
strate a progression 01 approach. ThiS IS a
well written and cfltlcallv penetratlllg pIece
of scholarship and one that Will
be
wei·
comed by all who seek to study John
Updike.
