Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
From Library Journal This volume of essays, Lewis's first in almost three decades, presents a limited survey of Western literature, with sections on classical, European, and American literature and literary critics and criticism. Emeritus English professor at Yale and author of awardwinning biographies and criticism, he focuses here on scholarly work such as translation, criticism, and biography; the emphasis on these secondary sources provides the recursive "reflection" of the title. Lewis addresses subjects as diverse as Virgil, Edith Wharton, Toni Morrison, Edgar Allan Poe, and Richard Ellman; his approach is "oldfashioned" but not "outdated" (to borrow the author's own terminology). He often follows a ten or 20yearold essay with an addendum written especially for this collection, a device that lends a fresh perspective to the subject. Recommended for academic and public humanities collections. Janice Braun, Hoover Institution Lib., Stanford Univ.Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. Product Description Lewis (emeritus, English & American studies, Yale) has written an extended preface to this collection of essays, some of which have never before been published. His subjects extend from the Greek and Roman classics to modern European and American writers, and he takes a special interest in the historical and biographical contexts from which literature emerges. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or. From the Back Cover With both his range of interests and his breadth of perspective, R. W. B. Lewis has cut a broad swath through the world of letters over the decades. He has written on subjects from the Greek and Roman classics through modern European writers to such Americans as Ralph Ellison and Robert Penn Warren. He takes a special interest in the historical and biographical contests from which literature emerges. Here is the first collection of Lewis's essays in nearly thirty years, and it includes several never before published. As Lewis himself says, the volume represents "a retracing of cultural steps", as well as "the conflicting preoccupations of a humanist".
