Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Attitudes and Avowals: With Some Retrospective Reviews Anyone who has ever received a cheque in payment for a poem must surely have been struck by the incogruity of the transaction; and, again, if he made any note of the manner in which he spent that cheque, he must have been still further impressed by the fantastic nature of a calling which thus brings him to market with such merchandise for such payment. Mummy has indeed become merchandise and Pharaoh is sold for balsams. Literary history records with dramatic unction the pitiful sums paid by antiquity for its masterpieces. A paltry twenty pounds for "Paradise Lost"! We raise our hands in pious judgment upon a preposterous past. There is latent in our surprise the assumption that, say, a million dollars would have been about right. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
