This work and a previous one, The World of Art, were originally planned as a single book. The generosity of Mr. Harold Feldman and Mr. John F.Molloy enabled me to send a draft to various friends for criticism. As a result of the suggestions of several readers they now appear as independent though related volumes. Both are in good part the product of an interest in the arts long ago awakened by Eliseo Vivas, and encouraged, nourished, and enriched by Neil Welliver. It has been sustained by conversations with George Howe, King Lui Wu, Paul Rudolph, Peter Millard, Arthur Drexler, Erwin Hauer, Robert Engman, James Brooks, Charlotte Park, C.Marca-Relli, K.R. C.Greene, Howard Boatwright, Richard Sewall, Harry Berger, Cleanth Brooks, Janice Rule, Curt Conway, Kim Stanley, Lee Strasberg, Uta Hagen, Alfred Ryder, John Gassner, Eliot Elisofon, Jonathan Weiss, Robert Thorn, David Slavitt, and Scott Sullivan. A draft of this work was criticized in detail by Ellen Haring, Iredell Jenkins, K.R. C.Greene, Jonathan Weiss, and Richard Sewall. In addition it has had the benefit of comments from John Gassner, Louis Z.Hammer, Dorothy Walsh, Robert Herbert, Vincent Scully, Philip Johnson, Paul Rudolph, Peter Millard, James Brooks, I.C. Lieb, V.C. Chappell, Richard Bernstein, Scott Sullivan, David Slavitt, Theodore Weiss, Henri Peyre, Merce Cunningham, John Cage, and Robert Lowell. I am most grateful to them; they have made it possible to improve the book immeasurably. I have tried to follow the lead of the criticisms which I have received. Divergent vocabularies, outlooks, and stresses, however, have often proved to be great obstacles in the way of a clear and common understanding. None of the foregoing critics should be held accountable for any of the blunders or blurs the work contains. I am glad that this book is being published by Southern Illinois University Press. It is a source of great satisfaction to me that Mr. Vernon Sternberg and his ex…

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns

If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
