The English journalist, critic and biographer's survey is drawn from world-wide literary sources through the ages, stimulated in part by J. W. Dunne's 1927 Experiment with Time. The superb dust jacket design is credited to "Morris" but quite reminiscent of Paul Rand. Scarce. Dust jacket is now preserved in a removable, clear archival sleeve.
