Publisher's Synopsis
These essays on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist and poet explore every aspect of Robert Penn Warren's work; the persistent themes that run throughout his poetry and his fiction; the achievement of such major novels as All the King's Men, Band of Angels, and World Enough and Time; and his novel in verse, Brother to Dragons. Warren's own essay, Knowledge and the Image of Man--a defense of man's right to be himself, to be a man--is included, as is the complete transcript of the Paris Review interview with Warren by Ralph Ellison and Eugene Walter.
