Robinson Jeffers, dimensions of a poet

the long version

This collection of essays attempts to illustrate the art and complexity of Jeffers, while presenting new insights into his work and its reception among his contemporaries. The essays represent a range of critical points of entry - some are on the cutting-edge of criticism and break new ground; others attempt to place Jeffers in the established perspectives of Western civilization's Christian Humanism and American poetry's landscape-centered mysticism.
