Reviews
In this work Corn lives up to his own prescription for good criticism: he informs as well as performs. This collection of essays and reviews examines the works of writers as diverse as Wallace Stevens, John Ashbery, Boris Pasternak, Andrey Bely, Marcel Proust, Robert Lowell, Elisabeth Bishop, and Hart Crane from the writer's as well as the critic's perspective. Emphasized throughout is the influence of Dante and the Symbolist movementtwo traditions that continue to be important in writing to this day. It is refreshing to read a critic who is also a very accomplished imaginative writer. A fine addition to any larger public collection, Corn's book shoud be required reading for all college literature students. Nancy R. Ives, Language Skills Ctr., SUNY at Geneseo
