Reviews

'It is, I believe, the best book of its kind... in this book Mr. Rose has shown that the editing of letters can be regarded as one of the fine arts: His running commentary and annotations have the authority of a freshly documented biography.' Horace Gregory, The New York Times. 'The Letters... nail Lewis down as a brilliant, touchy Welshman with a splendid power of invective and insulting laughter...and give us a blurred view of his originality as an artist and of his glamour as a conspiratorial figure in literary and painting circles. ' V.S. Pritchett, New York Review of Books.
