1927. Congreve's literary apprenticeship was served under the
tutelage of John Dryden, the leading playwright of the day. William
Congreve only wrote five plays before retiring from writing to work
in government. Love for Love and his other plays showed a knack for
writing urbane, scintillating wit that some say rivaled Moliere's.
Contents: The Old Batchelor; The Double-Dealer; Love for Love; and
The Way of the World. See other titles by this author available

Originally published in 1956, "The Great Chain of Life" brings a
humanist's keen eye and ear to one of the great questions of the
ages: "What am I?" Originally a scholar of literature and theater,
toward the end of his career Joseph Wood Krutch turned to the study
of the natural world. Bringing his keen intellect to bear on the
places around him, Krutch crafted some of the most memorable and
important works of nature writing extant.
Whether anticipating the arguments of biologists who now ascribe
high levels of cognition to the so-called lower animals,
recognizing the importance of nature for a well-lived life, or
seeing nature as an elaborately interconnected, interdependent
network, Krutch's seminal work contains lessons just as resonant
today as they were when the book was first written.
Lavishly illustrated with thirteen beautiful woodcuts by Paul
Landacre, an all-but-lost yet important Los Angeles artist whom
Rockwell Kent called "the best American wood engraver working,"
"The Great Chain of Life" will be cherished by new generations of
readers.
