1st ed., thus, 1962. This major selection of Auden's criticism evolved from its first printing in 1948 to become by this issue the poet's summa of statements on his art, and the measuring stick for other major writers, before and contemporary with him. Blue cloth binding shows some uneven fading, and the jacket spine has minor losses, at edges, presumably tasted by silverfish who are no longer in residence. New mylar jacket, book is clean of marks and writing. It is a foundational collection of Literary Criticism, spanning the subject in prose and poetry, from Shakespeare's day to Auden's. Very good condition in very good-minus dust jacket. Seller Inventory # 2887

Store Description

The "Old Book Surfer" store was started in 2009 near downtown Schenectady N.Y., in the "Bellevue" neighborhood first settled by General Electric and Alco Locomotive workers who built a small canal town into a mighty engine of U.S. industry. In 2014 we relocated to our present larger quarters in Cambridge, NY. Our literary and general interest bookstore also offers Recorded Music on vinyl to a collector clientele. We try to describe every internet item -- book or record -- as clearly as possible, just as if you were viewing it personally in the shop. With 20 years of collecting experience in our fields, we welcome you as either an on-line or in-store visitor! Our current business hours are Wed.-Sun., from 1-6pm, eastern time.
