About the Author:
From Library Journal:
Edmund Wilson (1895-1972) was a novelist, memoirist, playwright, journalist, poet, and editor but it is as a literary critic that he is most highly regarded.
This journal often mentions the fatigue of a man in late middle age, yet Wilson's innate enthusiasm for life more often triumphs. Recorded along with increasingly complicated family matters are his frequent travels and his research on subjects ranging from the Dead Sea Scrolls to American Indian lore and Civil War literature. As usual, his frank appraisals of acquaintanceshere including Andre Malraux, W. H. Auden, and Max Beerbohmare fascinating. Edel's helpful notes expand the entries, as they have in his three previous volumes of Wilson's private writings. Readers of modern cultural history will want to peruse these musings of a distinguished American intellectual. Starr E. Smith, Georgetown Univ. Lib., Washington, D.C.
