William Empson: Some Versions of Pastoral by William Empson, Seamus Perry Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Some Versions of Pastoral is one of the most famous books of literary criticism of the twentieth century, with chapters of unrivalled brilliance that include celebrated discussions of Shakespeare, Milton, and Lewis Carroll. This is the first edition to supply a full critical commentary, bringing the book into a new currency for a modern audience. Publisher Description William Empson is, alongside T. S. Eliot, the greatest genius among twentieth-century critics, and Some Versions of Pastoral is widely recognised as one of the most extraordinary works of the golden age of English literary criticism. Ranging with astonishing virtuosity between works of several centuries and moving purposefully between cultures, William Empson has dazzling things to say here about Shakespeare and the Elizabethan theatre, the political poetryof Marvell, Milton's Paradise Lost, the complex satire of John Gay's Beggar's Opera, and the convoluted psychology at work in the Alice books of Lewis Carroll. The book is alert to questions of politics,psycho-analysis, and anthropology, and speaks to a wide range of contemporary concerns. Written in Empson's charismatically informal and wonderfully approachable voice, the book appeared in 1935 without footnotes or references. This edition is the first to identify the quotations and allusions, to explain the pertinence of his references, and to place the work within its Empsonian context. It is published with an appendix of other texts by Empson which illuminate the issues at work in the book.

Like new condition, safe packaging, good communication from seller. Fair price for the quality. Shipping was on time, but tracking information took over a week to receive. The book was as-described with minor cosmetic flaws (indentations in some pages, for example). I wish the listings showed the actual item being sold to you instead of just an accurate stock photo. This edition and appearance of George Orwell's 1984 here is a nice pocket-sized hardcover. I would buy from this shop again.
The two new out-of-print books I ordered were exactly as described and shipped promptly. I did ask the seller's support person (an AI chatbot, I think) to be sure to package the items carefully, and "he" said that he'd make that request of the shipping department. I knew this was hooey, and as I expected, the books were shipped in nothing but a padded paper mailer, no other protection. I got lucky, no damage, but don't bother making special requests of this seller.
Lightning fast shipping. Item arrived before the delivery date, perfect. Item arrived carefully packaged and was exactly as described. Very pleased. Great communication throughout the process. Very attentive to detail and responsive. Will buy from again! Had a small issue with the item, but the seller resolved it quickly. Great customer service! The seller went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with my purchase. Highly recommended!
