About This Item
A somewhat weathered copy of a 1950s classic. No dust jacket. Tight binding, off-white pages.
This book is as wide as the world, confronting the eternal questions of virtue, truth, self-worth, love, envy and their opposites. The setting is early 19th century Kentucky as it faced the closing frontier, but in some sense the setting is immaterial. The overriding question is the value of a life and the meaning of virtue. Robert Penn Warren is an under-appreciated titan of American literature, who wrote across various fictional forms, most beautifully in his poetry. This novel is dense with beautiful phrasing and dark portrayals . . .It wore me out, but I'm glad I read it.(Steve Sanderson, Goodreads reviewer)
