More Classics Revisited (Revived Modern Classic)
- Used Book in Good Condition
More Classics RevisitedÂ is the second volume of the late poet and polymath Kenneth Rexrothâ€™s brilliant, succinct analyses of some of the key documents in literary history. It presents East and West: from the Bible, the Bhagavad-Gita, and the Tao Te Ching of Lao Tzu to the works of Karl Marx, Charles Baudelaire, and William Carlos Williams. Supplementing the sixty short essays originally published asÂ Classics RevisitedÂ in 1969 are forty-one pieces fromÂ With Eye and EarÂ (1970) andÂ The Elastic RetortÂ (1973), both long out of print, as well as various previously uncollected or unpublished essays. Taken together, these hundred and one critiques stand, writes editor Bradford Morrow, â€œas a primer, or Baedeker, to a whole terrain of thought, to one manâ€™s study of imagination and its field of conjuries.â€ The New Directions edition ofÂ Classics RevisitedÂ was chosen as a Book-of-the-Month Club alternate selection, attesting to the wide appeal of Rexrothâ€™s learning and humanity.
