Reviews
"Howard, with a text, is like the boyfriend everyone wants: he sees you for who you really are, and still loves you. His sympathy, like his culture, is immense. At the same time, because of his Stradivarian attunement to language (no surprise in a distinguished poet and translator), he sees what is actually there, the words, and from them alone extracts the meaning. His own use of language is an added gift: high, mandarin, but with pauses and dashes and side thoughts--the movements of a happy mind." --Joan Acocella, author of Willa Cather and the Politics of Criticism Praise for Richard Howard's Prose: "[Howard brings] a vocabulary of praise far larger, less inhibited, and more illuminating than any we have had from a critic of contemporary poetry."--Hilton Kramer, The New Republic

Synopsis
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. Book jacket.
