About this book

Through an examination of the work of poets and novelists who have managed to garner honor -- including Shakespeare Homer and Emily Dickinson -- and those whose reputations are of more recent vintage and therefore more difficult to evaluate such as Tom Wolfe Seamus Heaney and Toni Morrison -- Glenn Arbery explores the title question with elegant prose and subtle criticism.
