"Campbell attains an overview permitting him--better than anyone else, to my knowledge--to bring together writers who are almost always considered independently....The study is invaluable in that Campbell cares deeply about how these writers tried to cope, in their daily lives, with the powerful forces their writings had liberated."--John Taylor, "Times Literary Supplement"
