Hard to find
Summer 1951 original issue of the Kenyon Review is in very good condition. Save for a bit of soil to the paper wrappers, clean all the way around including the text.
185 pages.
See photo #2 for complete contents.
Some highlights I find include:
Kenyon Review founder and distinguished editor, poet, teacher and critic John Crowe Ransom's magisterial essay, first given as a paper to the Ohio English Association on 6 April 1951, "The Poetry of 1900-1950." Ransom considers the work of five poets, Thomas Hardy (to whom he will award his devotion), William Butler Yeats, Edwin Arlington Robinson, Robert Frost and T.S. Eliot. This is an essay that should not be missed.
Paul Goodman's "Advance-Guard Writing 1900-1950."
A new story from Elizabeth Parsons, "The Invisible Bridges."
R.P. Blackmur on Madame Bovary.
Richard Ellmann on the importance of the second edition of The Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats.
Robie Macauley on James Jones' From Here to Eternity.
Edwin S. Fussell on Arthur Mizener's new biography of F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Far Side of Paradise.
Much more!
