The Fields of Light: An Experiment in Critical Reading
New York: Oxford University Press, 1951. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good in Good dust jacket / Good. Item #078576
Crisp pages show moderate age-toning in the margins and light foxing to page block edges, otherwise clean; blue cloth cover is softened at spine ends and heel corners and shows light shelfwear at heel edges; dust jacket is quite faded and toned along the spine and shows a few small scuffs, some surface wear along foreedges, and small creases, closed tears, and chips around spine ends and corners, otherwise sound and now protected in a clear sleeve. xii, 218pp. incl. index. An influential teacher of English literature and classical antiquity, Brower is perhaps best known in local (U-Iowa) circles for his "On Translation", but this book has been equally influential upon the craft of writing in America.
