About the Author
Poet-essayist Kenneth Rexroth (1905-1982) was a high-school dropout, disillusioned ex-Communist, pacifist, anarchist, rock-climber, critic and translator, mentor, Catholic-Buddhist spiritualist and a prominent figure of San Francisco's Beat scene. He is regarded as a central figure of the San Francisco Renaissance and is among the first American poets to explore traditional Japanese forms such as the haiku.
From the Back Cover
The brief, radiant essays of Classics Revisited discuss sixty key books that are, for Rexroth, 'basic documents in the history of the imagination.' Ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Huckleberry Finn, these pieces (each about five pages long) first appeared in the Saturday Review.
