Description
Who Were Those Guys? Part Two
Picking up from Part One in the September/October issue, we continue our look at the editors of the first 65 titles in the Viking Portable Library, published from 1943 to 1960. They 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. Many are well known, others are not. Contributing Editor Peter Coveney discusses some of the lesser-known ones, including Joseph Henry Jackson, Ben Ray Redman, Samuel Putnam and more!
