Abroad
British Literary Traveling
Between the Wars
PAUL FUSSE LL , Rutge rs Uni ve rsity.
"Abroad
is an exemplary piece of criticism. It
is immensely readable.
It
bristles with ideas.
It disinters a real lost masterpiece from the
library stacks.
It
admits a whole area of writ–
ing - at last!- to its proper place in literary
history." - Jonathan Raban,

"Abroad
is a graceful elegy
to travel in the old sense... .A fitting substi–
tute for the real thing; it is a journey into
time and space, offering the serendipitous
pleasures of the open road." -

A
Critical Life
RONALD HAYMAN. Using for the first
time the new German edition of Nietzche's
collected works, Hayman sho ws how
Nietzsche's friendships and quarrels, teaching
and letters, and most of all, his moods and ill–
ness are inseparable from his philosophy.
"Hayman carefully reconstructs Nietzsche's
simultaneous struggles with his mental and
physical health, with his warring desires for
scholarly discipline and aesthetic expres–
sion.... Less discursive, and more truly bio–
graphical, than Kaufman's well-known study
of Nietzsche, and an excellent introduc–
tion."- Kirhs Rroinvs

Robert Louis Stevenson
A
Life Study
JENNI CALDER. While many critics have
written about Stevenson as a man of great
worth, few have written about the quality of
his writing. In her vivid critical biography,
Calder remedies this by assessing his literary
achievement in terms of his past and in the
context of the times he li ved. She al so
reviews his development as a writer, his rela–
tionship to his work, and the nature of his lit–
erary reputation.
