<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Published by arrangement with Croom Helm Ltd., Beckenham, Kent"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Robert Musil (1880-1942), author of <em>The Man without Qualities</em>, is one of the handful of most important writers of the twentieth century. Among Anglophone readers Musil has enjoyed a dedicated cult following, but until recently poor translations and radical misunderstandings of his aims and techniques have retarded the full appreciation of his genius.</p> <p>Hannah Hickman's compact survey of Musil's work and influences has won recognition as the only adequate introduction to its subject. Hickman has taken advantage of a wealth of recently available evidence to give a reliable account of this often baffling and immensely subtle writer.</p>
