Yet he died in relative obscurity in 1966, wracked by mental illness and substance abuse. Sadly, his literary legacy has been overshadowed by the story of his tragic life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmong 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 \u003cem\u003eHumboldt's Gift\u003c\/em\u003e is based on Schwartz's life) and Philip Roth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMuch of Schwartz's writing has been out of print for decades. This volume aims to restore Schwartz to his proper place in the canon of American literature and give new readers access to the breadth of his achievement. Included are selections from the in-print stories and poems, as well as excerpts from his long unavailable epic poem \u003cem\u003eGenesis\u003c\/em\u003e, a never-completed book-length work on T. S. Eliot, and unpublished poems from his archives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 7.9 x 5.2 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 03, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51757727580448,"sku":"9780811224321","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/80f425fbb18a0a8ce561f715ae435955.webp?v=1780110249","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/once-and-for-all-the-best-of-delmore-schwartz-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
