About This Item
Albequerque: Unviersity of New Mexico Press, 1995 Inscribed by the editor James Kraft on the title page. As new hardcover in similar dust jacket. Stated first edition. "Bynner is perhaps best known for his translations of Chinese literature. These are represented in Kraft's anthology along with selections from Bynner's influential translation of Euripides' Iphigenia in Tauris, his plays, and especially his varied verse, including the poems that he and his friend Arthur Davison Ficke published under the names of Emanuel Morgan and Anne Knish as "Spectrist" verse. Among the prose included here are essays on subjects ranging from Henry James to Pueblo Indian ceremonial life. Bynner numbered among his acquaintances an array of notables that included Igor Stravinsky and Cecil B. DeMille, D. H. Lawrence and Khalil Gibran, and his witty letters to and about these people make delightful reading.". 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine.
