About this title

Synopsis:

Richard Howard has been writing stylish, deeply informed commentary on modern culture and literature for more than four decades. His earlier work Alone With America: Essays on the Art of Poetry in the United States Since 1950 has long been hailed as a landmark in literary criticism. Paper Trail is a selection of his finest essays, including some never before published in book form, on a splendid range of subjects - from American poets such as Emily Dickinson and Marianne Moore to French artists such as Rodin and Michel Delacroix. Also included are considerations of modern sculpture and of the photography of the human body.
