Zusammenfassung:With fifty books to his name, Louis Auchincloss has achieved a stature few can match as a novelist, biographer, essayist, and cultural historian
In this new collection of biographical profiles combining literary and social history, Auchincloss aims his polished and finely pointed pen at the authors who have most fascinated him over the years, from Shakespeare's contemporaries to F. Scott Fitzgerald, Gore Vidal, and Tennessee Williams
These eighteen profiles, some of which first appeared in The New York Review of Books and The New York Times Book Review, show the critical insights of a celebrated writer best known for his fiction but equally astute in examining "The Two Marcels of Proust," peeling away longstanding misconceptions about Edith Wharton's early development as a writer, and exploring "Aestheticism and Homosexuality" in Oscar Wilde and Walter Pater
