Description
"Al Alvarez argues that it is the development of voice - as distinct from style - that makes a writer great. A highly respected poet and author himself, Alvarez approaches his subject as a writer as well as a critic. Here are - among others - Sylvia Plath, John Donne, Jean Rhys, William Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot, Samuel Taylor Coleridge and W.B. yeats read afresh with clarity, depth and a profound understanding of the art of writing." --book jacket.
