This well-edited, attractive selection (about one-fourth of the surviving letters) brings Mark Van Doren alive, especially to those who knew him and can hear the voice behind the written words. It should help criticism begin to engage the works and personality of a very considerable American "man of letters": superb poet and critic, wide-ranging editor, accomplished storyteller and playwright, and devoted educator.

• "The literature of the world has exerted its power by being translated."
• "Nothing in man is more serious than his sense of humor; it is the sign that he wants all the truth."
• "The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery."
