Summary:

For decades Richard Howard's stylish, deeply informed criticism has enlightened and entertained his devoted audience. Here is a comprehensive selection of his finest essays on a splendid range of subjects-from American poets like Emily Dickinson and Marianne Moore to French artists such as Auguste Rodin and Michel Delacroix, from modern sculpture to the photography of the human body. And Howard brings to his consideration of French literature a rare wisdom drawn from his celebrated work as a translator of Stendhal and Gide, Barthes and Cocteau, Yourcenar and Gracq.
