Books by Herbert Read

"First published in 1957 by Routledge & Kegan Paul"--Title page verso.

A classic work that offers the reader an ideal overview of the ideas that marked out Read as a seminal and hugely influetial figure in the cultural life of the twentieth century.

Originally published in 1929, this volume gathers together nine essays by Sir Herbert Read (1893-1968), a highly influential English critic and poet. The essays each cover a different author and are centred around the concept of 'glory' and its manifestation in works of a particularly transcendent nature.
