From the Back Cover
The brief, radiant essays of Classics Revisited discuss sixty key books that are, for Rexroth, 'basic documents in the history of the imagination.' Ranging from The Epic of Gilgamesh to Huckleberry Finn, these pieces (each about five pages long) first appeared in the Saturday Review.
Review
Arguably, the best basic reading list for inquiring minds. -- Gary Gach, Common Ground, 1 October 2004
