Poet Robert Frost opposed publishing his private letters. Untermeyer sought permission but Frost said publicity was the last thing he wanted and asked for time until he was “good and dead.”
A mixed critical survey covers Blaikie’s Sordid Corpus Delicti with tales of murder, duel, and colonial misadventure, noting a rippant tone that often veers into cruelty. Frosts letters and Untermeyer exchange are judged an entertaining yet ultimately patchy collection. A Greek athletics study by Harris is praised for accessible history and fresh readings of pankration and ancient sports.
A discussion tracing mind and body questions from Descartes to J. J. Smart. The volume surveys debates, insights, and refutations across 450 pages, with Vesey's introduction and an index. Includes commentary on central questions, suitable for readers with serious interest in philosophy.
A thoughtful critique of Naipaul’s Area of Darkness argues the book powerfully conveys his personal experience of India. It notes his anger at social issues, reverence for India's humanity, and praises the writing while warning the portrayal is not the whole truth.
Leonard Cooper’s lurid portrait of the Duke of Wellington as both soldier and politician tests the aged hero’s legacy. The review notes repetitive phrasing, minimal new insight, and a late shift to electoral politics while praising the work’s feel for Britain’s unrest and reform mood.
Jacques Mordal argues Dieppe failed as a tactical operation and questions the gained experience argument. The review notes heavy Canadian and allied losses, German coast defenses exposed, and Churchill and Russian front implications, with praise for brave acts and cautions on planners' judgments.
A literary roundup surveys six to seven books from Australian writers and international authors. It praises Australian Pavements as an unusual, engaging anthology, Wind of the Day as a solid Howard Spring novel, and Full Circle as an illustrated aviation history by J. E. Johnson with David Shepherd.
