As one of the first and most eloquent spokesmen for the New
Criticism, R. P. Blackmur achieved a place of rare distinction in
American letters. He preferred to think of himself as a poet,
however, and this volume shows that his poetry was in its own right
an enduring contribution to literature. Included here are The
Second World (1942) and The Good European (1947), as well as From
Jordan's Delight (1937), described by Allen Tate as "one of the
most distinguished volumes of verse in the first half of the
century." Blackmur was a formalist and a master of traditional
versification, a poet whose work did not show the influence of
Pound and Eliot although he read them closely. His poetry impresses
the reader with its strength, gravity, and musicality. During his
career, Blackmur lectured widely in the United States and abroad.
He was the first man of letters to hold the Pitt Professorship of
American History and Institutions at Cambridge University, and he
was Professor of English at Princeton University, where he
conceived the Christian Gauss Seminars in Criticism. He was a
Fellow in American Letters at the Library of Congress, a member of
the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and Vice President of
the National Institute of Arts and Letters. Originally published in
1978. 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.
