SUSPENDED JUDGMENTS
ESSAYS ON BOOKS AND SENSATIONS
BY JOHN COWPER POWYS
_The Book News Monthly_ said of "Visions and Revisions":
"Not one line in the entire book that is not tense with thought and feeling."
The author of "Visions and Revisions" says of this new book of essays:
"In 'Suspended Judgments' I have sought to express with more deliberation and in a less spasmodic manner than in 'Visions,' the various after-thoughts and reactions both intellectual and sensational which have been produced in me, in recent years, by the re-reading of my favorite writers. I have tried to capture what might be called the 'psychic residuum' of earlier fleeting impressions and I have tried to turn this emotional aftermath into a permanent contribution--at any rate for those of similar temperament--to the psychology of literary appreciation.
"To the purely critical essays in this volume I have added a certain number of others dealing with what, in popular parlance, are called 'general topics,' but what in reality are always--in the most extreme sense of that word--personal to the mind reacting from them. I have called the book 'Suspended Judgments' because while one lives, one grows, and while one grows, one waits and expects."

WITH COMMENTARY AND AN ESSAY ON
BOOKS AND READING
BY JOHN COWPER POWYS
This list is designed to supply the need of persons who wish to acquire a general knowledge of such books in world-literature as are at once exciting and thrilling to the ordinary mind and written in the style of the masters. It recognizes the fact that modern people are most interested in modern books; but it recognizes also that such books, to be worthy of this interest, must uphold the cla.s.sical tradition of manner and form.
