BLACKWELL CRITICAL BIOGRAPHIES
General Editor: Claude RawsonThis acclaimed series offers informative and durable biographies of important
authors, British, European, and North American, which will include substantial
critical discussion of their works. An underlying objective is to re-establish the
notion that books are written by people who lived in particular times and places.
This objective is pursued not by programmatic assertions or strenuous point-mak-
ing, but through practical persuasion of volumes which offer intelligent criticism
within well-researched biographical text.
