An engaging literary life
An important book for those interested in American literary culture from the 1920s to 1980s. Besides introduce the reader to a number of writers, many of whom author Cowley knew, it is rich with anecdote and colorfully written Toward the end of his life Cowley (1898-1989) returned to the literary essays of Dr. Samuel Johnson; he himself is sort of a latter-day Johnson in his richness of specification and satisfying phrase-making. The letters themselves cover seventy-five years of the author's life and involvement in the literary life of America.

Engaging introduction for young and old alike to the wonders of the world's first great library.
1 personnes sur 1 ont jugé cet avis utile. Although meant for young adults, the book is an engaging introduction for both young and old alike to the wonders of this fabled book or "scroll" repository. The text is clearly written and pictures in color add to its enjoyment. Maps help establish the setting; a short definitional index at the end helps identify the different components of the Library, which I gather was 'non-circulatory,' the Serapeum, Soma, "House of the Muses," etc. My only concern was the noting of the library's beginnings with Ptolemy I Soter; it was rather his son Ptolemy II Philadelphus who through his association with polymath Demetrius of Phalerum got the library off the ground. While Crown Prince of Egypt, Ptolemy II was also a student of Euclid, another seminal figure in the library's developing renown. While chapters are divided into topics like medicine and astronomy, more attention could be devoted to the literary or fine arts domain of the library's holdings.
