aeudaimonia's review against another edition
4.0
The book's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness: the late Hollander unfortunately reads as overconfident and sometimes downright mean with respect to a given poet's artistic merits, or a scholar's intellectual ones. Literary scholarship isn't so easily outdated as in STEM, but it's been 60 years since this book was originally published and I highly doubt that all of Hollander's points are uncontested today. The smorgasbord of violence, sexual assault, and misogyny warrants some caution for sensitive readers.
