Description
Edmund Wilson, who helped shape American literary culture from the early 1920s through the mid '60s, is still a presence a century after his birth. This vibrant collection emerges from symposiums in Wilson's centenary year, 1995, at the Mercantile Library in New York and at Princeton University. Assembled and edited by Lewis Dabney, the book shows the intellectual voices of a younger generation interacting with veterans who knew Wilson and his times.
