This volume of essays on Great Writers by the well-known lecturer
was the first of a series of three books with the same purpose as the
author's brilliant lectures; namely, to enable one to discriminate

of great literature and by the enthusiastic reviews it received from
the American Press.

theorizing, and, in particular, constructive criticism."

BOOK NEWS MONTHLY, Philadelphia: "Not one line in the entire
book that is not tense with thought and feeling. With
all readers who crave mental stimulation ... 'Visions and
Revisions' is sure of a great and enthusiastic appreciation."

THE NATION AND THE EVENING POST, New York: "Their imagery is
bright, clear and frequently picturesque. The rhythm falls

readable literary criticism."

CHICAGO HERALD: "An essayist at once scholarly, human and
charming is John Cowper Powys.... Almost every page carries
some arresting thought, quaintly appealing phrase, or picture
spelling passage."

REEDY'S MIRROR, St. Louis: "Powys keeps you wide awake in the
