The late Leo Spitzer enjoyed a reputation as one of the twentieth
century's outstanding philologists and linguists. His writings in
the field of the romance languages and of comparative philology
have been always stimulating, often controversial. This collection
presents his essays in English and American literature which
appeared in various journals and other publications during his
lifetime. They range from an explication de texte of three great
Middle English poems, through close scrutiny of writings of Donne,
Milton, Keats, to a consideration of Edgar Allan Poe and Whitman,
and, finally, to one of Yeats' poems. Each of the essays in this
collection is illuminated and heightened by Professor Spitzer's
careful and imaginative exegesis. The delightful "American
Advertising Explained as Popular Art" is included as a sample of
Professor Spitzer's commentary on American culture. Originally
published in 1962. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
