Cloth, 8vo, 256 pp. From the blurb: "G. S. Fraser is not only a distinguished poet, editor and critic teaching in the Department of English at the University of Leicester, who happens to know the work of Lawrence Durrell very well, and has re-examined it rigorously to write this study. He has also known Lawrence Durrell himself since they met in war-time Cairo in the early 1940's. 'This was the time, in the title-phrase of Hazlitt's essay, of "my first acquaintance with the poets" - a group of gifted people who passed through the city in those years. G. S. Fraser is therefore able, not simply to give biographical facts, but to bring the personality of his subject to life. And in this case the personality is at the core of the artist's achievement, as Mr Fraser conveys. Nevertheless, this is a searching assessment of Durrell's work, from the early novels and The Black Book to The Alexandria Quartet and Tunc; of the Mediterranean island landscape books; of the Antrobus stories and Durrell's novel of adventure for the young, of his correspondence with Henry Miller; and, with special expertise and one particular discovery, of his poetry and plays." The bibliography occupies pages 177-233. Indexed. Near Very Good in a torn and stained dustwrapper.
