The Dolphin Letters offers an unprecedented portrait of Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Hardwick during the last seven years of Lowell's life (1970 to 1977), a time of personal crisis and creative innovation for both writers. Centred on the letters they exchanged with each other and with other members of their circle - writers, intellectuals, friends, and publishers, including Elizabeth Bishop, Caroline Blackwood, Mary McCarthy, and Adrienne Rich - the book has the narrative sweep of a novel, telling the story of the dramatic breakup of their twenty-one-year marriage and their extraordinary, but late, reconciliation. Lowell's controversial sonnet-sequence The Dolphin (for which he used Hardwick'...
Proverbial language figures prominently in the works of Eugene O'Neill (1883-1953), the recipient of four Pulitzer prizes and a Nobel laureateship for literature. This book is a directory to the proverbs, proverbial expressions, and proverbial comparisons in O'Neill's 50 dramas and numerous letters, articles, diaries, and notebooks.

A world list of books in the English language.
John Updike continues to be one of America's most important contemporary writers. This bibliography provides a comprehensive record of works by and about Updike published from 1967 through mid-1993, and it includes a few earlier works omitted by earlier bibliographers as well. The bibliography begins with a section of works by Updike. This section includes the customary books, plays, short fiction, and poetry that one would expect in a bibliography, as well as more unusual items, such as letters, interviews, unsigned items from The New Yorker, and illustrations. The second part of the book lists works about Updike, including criticism of particular works, dissertations, parodies and caricatures, and works in non-print media. In each of these broad sections, works are first grouped by genre and then listed chronologically. The bibliography indicates special editions and other information in the entries. Appendices list translations of Updike's works and periodicals in which he has published.
Primary sources include editions of Kosinski's novels, recordings, nonfiction books, miscellaneous writings, and interviews; secondary sources include reference materials, books and monographs, biographical studies, dissertations, and criticism and reviews specific to particular works.
