"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
This thorough biography gives the definitive treatment to the life and work of one of the early twentieth century's most highly revered men of letters.
(Library Journal (starred review))There are echoes of Wilson's infectious curiosity and sky-high standards in the eloquently paced, beautifully considered prose of this masterful biography. The quicksilver movement of Dabney's sentences is propelled by deep, complex ideas.
(Harper's Magazine)Dabney, a veteran Wilson scholar... is an academic who knows how to write. The result is a book that will seize any passionate reader of literature by the throat.
(The New Criterion)Fascinating, admirably ample, intelligent, and balanced... Dabney knows his subject cold, and he has drawn a realistic, poignant portrait of Wilson that conveys the personal experiences feeding the work, and vice versa.
(Bookforum)An outsize biography that doesn't stint in chronicling the intimate and often stormy aspects of [Wilson's] life, in addition to giving us a comprehensive account of his intellectual interests and achievements... This book will serve as the definitive account of its subject for many years to come.
(Wall Street Journal)Lewis M. Dabney has enough knowledge to satisfy even the most captious reader.
