Description
Who Were Those Guys? Part One
The editors of the first 65 titles in the Viking Portable Library, published from 1943 to 1960, represented a cross-section of influential literary critics, academics, journalists, poets, biographers, playwrights, drama and media critics, historians and other prominent scholars of the time. Some are well known, others are not. Contributing Editor Peter Coveney takes a look at some of the lesser-known ones. Included in Part One are Carl and Mark Van Doren, Lewis Gannett, Gilbert Seldes and more!
