 | A Company of Readers
From 1951 to 1963 the famous bibliophiles W. H. Auden, Jacques Barzun, and Lionel Trilling shared the editorial responsibilities of the periodical the Reader's Subscription, subsequently called the Mid-Century Book Club, voicing their opinions on a variety of books by a wealth of writers, including Tolkien, Faulkner, Valery and many others. This collection offers a sampling of their opinions, which--erudite, witty, anecdotal, and influential--describe in their tone and vision the distinct literary landscape of the 1950s and early 1960s.
