This review-essay presents an overview of Malcolm Cowley's life as a professional man of letters. A poet at the beginning, Cowley became best known for books about twentieth-century literary history, enlivened by incisive personal portraits of its practitioners. As a writer and editor, he played a crucial role in establishing and advancing the careers of contemporaries Hemingway, Faulkner, and Fitzgerald, and of younger writers Cheever and Kerouac. During the 1930s and stretching into the next decade, Cowley was involved in the political wars as a fervent left-winger supporting communist causes, a passion he came to regret. These subjects emerge vividly in Hans Bak's edition of Cowley's letters, sent to a wide array of well-known poets and prose writers. The book, with a first-rate introduction by son Robert Cowley and periodic commentaries by Bak, reads like a biography in the making of this important and undervalued figure in American literary history.

Kathrine C. Aydelott, M. Wilkins
In 1889, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman published a short story called “An Idyl of a Berry Pasture” in Once a Week, an early imprint of Collier's Weekly. Since that time, the story has been lost. Rediscovered, the tale depicts a meeting between the impoverished Viola Bell and the upstanding Elisha Burney and Viola's unsuccessful attempt to win his heart. Besides realistic dialect, careful descriptions of nature and village life, and pointed observations about the domestic lives and attitudes of New England men and women, Freeman revisits themes of poverty and class distinctions, and the polarities of freedom and safety, masculinity and femininity, authenticity and conformity, and individual and community. Published at a time when Freeman had established herself as a writer of the New England soil, and containing hallmarks of her best work, “An Idyl of a Berry Pasture” deserves placement among Freeman's strong and evocative New England stories.
1889年,玛丽·e·威尔金斯·弗里曼(Mary E. Wilkins Freeman)在《每周一次》上发表了一篇短篇小说《浆果牧场的牧歌》,这是《科利尔周刊》的早期印记。从那时起,这个故事就失传了。这个故事重新被发现,讲述了穷困潦倒的维奥拉·贝尔和正直的以利沙·伯尼的相遇,以及维奥拉试图赢得他的心的失败。除了现实主义的方言,对自然和乡村生活的细致描述,以及对新英格兰男人和女人的家庭生活和态度的尖锐观察,弗里曼重新审视了贫穷和阶级差异的主题,自由和安全的两极,男性和女性,真实性和一致性,个人和社区。出版的时候,弗里曼已经确立了自己作为新英格兰土壤作家的地位,包含了她最好的作品的特点,《浆果牧场的牧歌》应该在弗里曼的强烈和令人回味的新英格兰故事中占有一席之地。
