This welcome re-issueone of several for this titletestifies to the value publishers put on it and to a reluctance among them ever to let it stay out of print for very long.  The subjects Wilson treatsDickens and Kipling  Edith Wharton and Ernest Hemingway  Joyce and Sophocles  and perhaps most surprising  Jacques Casanovareveal the range and dexterity of his interests  his historical grasp  his learning  and his intellectual curiosity.  Wilsons essays did not give rise to a new body of literary theory nor to a new school of literary criticism. Rather  he animated or reanimated the reputations of the artists he treated and furthered the quest for the sources of their literary artistry and craftsmanship.  F. Scott Fitzgerald called Wilson the literary conscience of my generation. Todays readers of The Wound and the Bow may want to make the claim for their generation as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45276596207669,"sku":"ByrdShop_0821411896","price":97.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780821411896.jpg?v=1780557076","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/wound-and-the-bow-seven-studies-in-literature-9780821411896","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
