Description

Long recognized as one of America’s foremost men of letters, Robert Penn Warren continues to dazzle us with his many-sided genius. In the haunting images of his poetry, the narrative power of his fiction, the revealing insights of his essays, we find literary achievement of the highest order.

Warren’s writing has merited the close attention of literary critics. In this book Neil Nakadate brings together the most important critical essays, including a new essay written for this volume, to give a comprehensive view of the range of Warren’s work. A list of Warren’s published works, 1929-1980, and a useful checklist of critical works on Warren’s writing supplement this rich and balanced collection of essays.
