Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

In this expanded edition of Randall Jarrell's letters, his widow, Mary, has added letters from Jarrell to Peter Taylor, publication of which was withheld during Taylor's lifetime. Taylor was, along with Robert Lowell, Jarrell's oldest and closest friend, and the inclusion of these incomparable letters adds another dimension of friendship, artistry, and intellect to a collection already noted for its behind-the-scenes glimpse of twentieth-century American literary history in the making.

Book News Annotation:

Poet and critic Jarrell was known as one of the "American Bloomsbury Circle" of the 1950s. This collection of his letters, covering the period 1935 to 1965, is presented as a window into the literary group, as well as Jarrell's personal life. This edition has been expanded to include recently released letters from Jarrell to Peter and Eleanor Taylor. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
