Leners
These magnificent leners,together with

Award for Translation,and garnered wide–
spread acclaim.
"Steegmuller provides wise,generous
examples of
I
the George Sand
I
correspon–
dence here... the remarkably touching,
highly unlikely link between Flaubert and
Sand (artistically alien yet equally hard–
working writers) will have astrong appeal
to anyone interested in the phenomenon of

Robert Damton
Robert Damton uncovers the shadowy
worldDf pirate publishers,Grub Street writ–
ers,and under-the-cloak book peddlers
that composed the literary underground of
pre-revolutionary France.
It's an intriguing book for anyone inter–
ested in publishing,history,or in just plain
fascinating reading.
$16.50 Illustrated
Together in one volume,the liveliest and
most revealing leners from the acclaimed
12-volume edition,awarded theJames Rus–
sell Lowell Prize.
"This handy anthology serves up some
marvelous prose by one of the live wires of
English literature.Byron's leners are irre–
sistible:vivid,unpremeditated,SCintillating
bursts of energy and wit;candid, cordial,
self-mocking; the rhythm and punctuation
as protean,headlong,and cavalier as the
man himself...Agenerous helping from a
splendid feast:' -
