In \u003ci\u003eThe Collected Letters of Robinson Jeffers\u003c\/i\u003e, Professor James Karman is setting new standards for skillful editing, and the project itself, now underway, will further establish Jeffers as a leading American poet of prophetic vision.\"—Kevin Starr, University of Southern California \"\u003ci\u003eThe Collected Letters of Robinson Jeffers, with Selected Letters of Una Jeffers\u003c\/i\u003e represents a truly important addition to American literary scholarship. Not only was Jeffers a great Modernist poet, he was the only major one writing from the western half of the United States. In these splendidly edited volumes of his and his wife's letters, we are finally able to glimpse into the life and mind of this prophetic figure.\"—Dana Gioia, University of Southern California\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume of correspondence, the last in a three-volume edition, spans a pivotal moment in American history: the mid-twentieth century, from the beginning of World War II, through the years of rebuilding and uneasy peace that followed, to the election of President John F. Kennedy. Robinson Jeffers published four important books during this period—\u003ci\u003eBe Angry at the Sun\u003c\/i\u003e (1941), \u003ci\u003eMedea\u003c\/i\u003e (1946), \u003ci\u003eThe Double Axe\u003c\/i\u003e (1948), and \u003ci\u003eHungerfield\u003c\/i\u003e (1954). He also faced changes to his hometown village of Carmel, experienced the rewards of being a successful dramatist in the United States and abroad, and endured the loss of his wife Una. Jeffers' letters, and those of Una written in the decade prior to her death, offer a vivid chronicle of the life and times of a singular and visionary poet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Stanford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52551715717400,"sku":"9780804794671","price":67.36,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-collected-letters-of-robinson-jeffers-with-selected-letters-of-una-jeffers-volume-three-1940-1962-hardback-9780804794671","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
