Edmund Wilson by Lewis M Dabney
Edmund Wilson, the literary and social critic, helped shape American literary culture from the early 1920s through to the mid-1960s. This volume emerges from symposiums held in Wilson's centenary year, 1995, which offer a variety of points of view about Wilson's work and the man himself.
Edmund Wilson, who epitomized the man of letters for this century and who relished his role as the nation's leading literary curmudgeon and dictator, comes brilliantly to life in this wide-ranging collection of essays edited by his biographer, Lewis DabneyNot only do we get acute explorations of Wilson's criticism but incisive pieces on his other writing and on aspects of his long disorderly life. Professor Dabney, his contributors, and the Princeton University Press are to be congratulated for this celebration of Wilson as he triumphantly passes his centennial and doggedly sets sail for another century. -- George Core, Editor The Sewanee Review Memories of the man, scholar, drinker, libertine, are mostly amused, affectionate and forbearing. The New York Times Book Review Edmund Wilson ... comes brilliantly to life in this wide-ranging collection of essays... Not only do we get acute explorations of Wilson's criticism but incisive pieces on his other writing. -- George Core, editor The Sewanee Review
