William Pritchard’s collection of essays and reviews on poets and poetry ranges from Dryden and Milton through the major American and British poets of the last century.
William H. Pritchard is a professor of English at Amherst College. He has written biographical studies of Robert Frost, Randall Jarrell, and John Updike; a memoir, English Papers; and three collections of essays and reviews.
“Mr. Pritchard’s balanced and expert appraisals put more willfully
idiosyncratic and ingenious critics to shame. For Mr. Pritchard the
poem always comes first, its value found partly in how much it
helps us ‘to live our lives.’”
