Edmund Wilson (A Chicago Classic) - Tapa dura

Leonard Kriegel examines Wilson s principal nonfiction works in depth: "Axel" "s Castle," " "which he finds a classic in its own right; "To the Finland Station," " "which he holds to be Wilson s finest work; and "The American Jitters," " Travels in Two Democracies," " The Triple Thinkers," " Patriotic Gore," " The Wound and the Bow," " "and "Europe Without Baedecker," " "with which, taken together, Mr. Kriegel feels, Wilson has assured himself a permanent position in America s cultural legacy because of his unparalleled fusion of intelligence and lucidity."

Leonard Kriegel is an Associate Professor of English at the City College of New York. His previous books include "The Long Walk Home."
