'Literary Essays and Reviews of the 1920s and 30s' presents Wilson in the extraordinary first phase of his career, participating in a cultural renaissance & grappling w/ the crucial issues of his era. 'The Shores of Light' (1952) is Wilson's magisterial assemblage of early reviews, sketches, stories, memoirs, & other writings into a teeming panorama of America's literary life in a period of exuberant expansion & in the years of political & economic strife that followed. Wilson traces the emergence of a new American writing as he reviews the work of Ernest Hemingway, Wallace Stevens, E.E. Cummings, John Dos Passos, Thornton Wilder & many others, including his close friends F. Scott Fitzgerald & Edna St. Vincent Millay. Little escapes his notice: burlesque shows & Henry James, Soviet theater & the magic of Harry Houdini, the first novels of Malraux & the rediscovery of Edgar Allan Poe. 'Axel's Castle' (1931), his pioneering overview of literary modernism, includes penetrating studies of Yeats, Eliot, Proust, Joyce, Gertrude Stein, & others. For several generations this book has stood as an indispensable companion to some of the crucial turning points in modern literature. Both these classic works abundantly display Wilson's extraordinary erudition, his unquenchable curiosity, his visionary grasp of larger historical meanings, his gift for acute psychological portraiture, & the matchless suppleness & lucidity of his prose. For Wilson, there are no minor subjects; every literary occasion sparks writing that is witty, energetic, & alive to the undercurrents of his time. In addition this volume includes a number of uncollected reviews from the same period, including discussions of H.L. Mencken, Edith Wharton, & Bernard Shaw. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: EDMUND WILSON (1895-1972) was the leading literary critic of his generation. the author of such influential works as 'Axel's Castle', 'The Wound and the Bow' & 'Patriotic Gore'. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: LEWIS M. DABNEY (1932-2015) is the author of 'Edmund Wilson: A Life in Literature' & the editor of Wilson's last journal, 'The Sixties' & of 'Edmund Wilson: Centennial Reflections'. * The LIBRARY of AMERICA is an independent nonprofit cultural organization founded in 1979 to preserve our nation's literary heritage by publishing, & keeping permanently in print, America's best & most significant writing.
