This is Professor Spender's major literary study, the result of a lifetime's work and reflection. it details critically and analytically with the whole range of British-American cultural relations starting with Emerson and Margaret Fuller through James, Eliot and Pound down to the present. It is the story of a British Culture obsessed with its tradition, confronting an America in search of new possibilities, and of how the older society ultimately comes to look to the new one for sources of energy, while the new one turns to the older one for means of stability. Hardly a major author on eighter side of the Atlantic is not involved in the relationship, and so, in the course of this book, Soender deals with nearly the whole of American and British literature from the nineteenth century to the present. The result is a landmark of literary criticism. 246 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions, Reference books ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .
