  • Once and for All: The Best of Delmore Schwartz

    The publication of this book restores a missing chapter in the history of twentieth-century American literatureWith his New Directions debut in 1938, the twenty-five-year-old Delmore Schwartz was hailed as a genius and among the most promising writers of his generation.

Sadly, his literary legacy has been overshadowed by the story of his tragic life.Among poets, Schwartz was a prototype for the confessional movement made famous by his slightly younger friends Robert Lowell and John Berryman. While his stories and novellas about Jewish American experience laid the groundwork for novels by Saul Bellow (whose Humboldt’s Gift is based on Schwartz’s life) and Philip Roth.Much of Schwartz’s writing ha...
