VISIONS AND REVISIONS

A BOOK OF LITERARY DEVOTIONS

BY JOHN COWPER POWYS

8vo, 298 pp.  Half White Cloth with Blue Fabriano Paper Sides, $2.00 net

This volume of essays on Great Writers by the well-known lecturer was the first of a series of three books with the same purpose as the author’s brilliant lectures; namely, to enable one to discriminate between the great and the mediocre in ancient and modern literature:  the other two books being “One Hundred Best Books” and “Suspended Judgments.”

Within a year of its publication, four editions of “Visions and Revisions” were printed—­an extraordinary record considering that it was only the second book issued by a new publisher.  The value of the book to the student and its interest for the general reader are guaranteed by the international fame of the author as an interpreter of great literature and by the enthusiastic reviews it received from the American Press.

REVIEW OF REVIEWS, New York:  “Seventeen essays ... remarkable for the omission of all that is tedious and cumbersome in literary appreciations, such as pedantry, muckraking, theorizing, and, in particular, constructive criticism.”

BOOK NEWS MONTHLY, Philadelphia:  “Not one line in the entire book that is not tense with thought and feeling.  With all readers who crave mental stimulation ...  ’Visions and Revisions’ is sure of a great and enthusiastic appreciation.”

    THE NATION AND THE EVENING POST, New York:  “Their imagery is
    bright, clear and frequently picturesque.  The rhythm falls
    with a pleasing cadence on the ear.”

    BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE:  “A volume of singularly acute and
    readable literary criticism.”
