Fiercer Than Tigers: The Life and Works of Rex Warner - Tapa dura

Sinopsis

Rex Warner was considered a literary legend in the 1930s and 1940s. His works remain powerful reflections on the turbulent politics of the New Deal and World War II period. As Warner grew increasingly disillusioned with the modern world, his writing interests turned to ancient times via myth retelling, translations, and historical novels. This biography explores the composition, reception, and significance of Rex Warner's work, as well as his personal life, his friendships with C. Day Lewis and W.H. Auden, and contemporary Greek writers, his intellectual journeys and political beliefs. Tabachnick's personal acquaintance with Rex Warner, his access to unpublished sources in repositories and private hands across the United States, Greece, and England, and his many interviews with Warner's former friends, colleagues, students and relatives, provide a firm basis for his presentation of the life events that influenced Warner's works.
