The thirty-five essays and memoirs about Allen Tate which are collected in this volume along with the introduction by Radcliffe Squires provide a perceptive, many-windowed view of Tate's work and his life. Poet, critic, novelist - Tate is all of these, and the selections, reflecting these various aspects of his career, are arranged in sections entitled and "The Man, and " and "The Essayist, and " and "The Novelist, and " and and "The Poet. and " As Professor Squires points out, the last three divisions take cognizance of the astounding diversity of Tate's achievement. and "But in a last analysis, and " he continues, and "the divisions are an Aristotelian nicety, an arbitrary convenience.

That has seemed to him a worthwhile task to perform for modern man threatened by such fatal narcissism, such autotelic pride that he is in danger of disappearing into a glassy fantasy of his own concoction. We shall need his help for a long time to come. and " The selections were first published in a variety of periodicals and books over the years. The volume includes a substantial bibliography.
