The Critics who Made Us Essays from Sewanee Review

Collects essays published in the last seven years in the distinguished literary journal that revaluates eminent British and American literary critics of the 20th century. Among those whose work is discussed are Eliot, Pound, Frye, and Trilling, Wilson, Cowley, Burke, Warren, Jarrell, and Brooks--virtually all of whom shared a commitment to the craft of criticism, wrote poetry or fiction, and also left their mark as editors.
