<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>A magnum opus and a cause for celebration from one of the world's foremost literary essayists.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Beginning his career at Oxford in the 1950s, the ever-incisive John Bayley has been one of the great bulwarks--in the tradition of William Hazlitt and Edmund Wilson--of twentieth-century world literature. His distinctive sensibility has transformed tastes and theories. Here, in <em>The Power of Delight</em>, a volume that has been assembled with the assistance of <em>New Yorker</em> editor Leo Carey, we see at last the full range of Bayley's life and work, divided into eight sections that include 'English Literature, ' 'Russian Novels, ' and 'American Poetry.' A wide-ranging guide to essential reading, <em>The Power of Delight</em> examines classics, neglected gems and masterpieces of our time--from Jane Austen to Milan Kundera, Leo Tolstoy to John Ashbery, and from Robert Lowell's messy persona to George Orwell's self-canonization.
