A Fable for Critics, by James Russell Lowell with Vignette Portraits of the Authors de Quibus Fabula Narratur

A book-length poem satirizing other American writers, in, as the author says in his preface, "a style that is neither good verse nor bad prose." It was rapidly written, Lowell says, "purely for my own amusement and with no thought of publication."Michigan Historical Reprint Series and Books for Libraries PressThis volume is produced from digital images created through the University of Michigan University Library's preservation reformatting program.
