NEW PENGUINS
|: XCELLENT new Penguins and Pelicans are being published all the time, and among the most valuable recently to hand is The Literature of the United Stafes, by Marcus Cunliffe (N.Z. price ,4/6). With a rather rare ability to compress and yet remain intensely interesting, the author has covered the period from colonial times to the present. The background is not forgotten; and there are extensive notes on further reading. The Seagull and Other Plays, by Anton Chekhov (2/6), is a second volume of translations by Elisaveta Fen which should be welcomed by those who criticise the Garnett translations of the plays. T. S. Eliot: Selected Prose, edited by John Hayward (2/6), a companion volume to Selected Poems, includes both literary and social criticism. Byzantine Art, by David Talbot Rice (3/6), first published in 1935, has been brought up-to-date and in part re-written, for both general reader and specialist. Pottery and Ceramics, by Ernst Rosenthal (4/6), also a revised work, covers its subject in detail "from common brick to fine china." The Queen’s Government, by Sir Ivor Jennings (2/6), is a new work, by a well-known authority, on the principles and machinery of the British system of democracy.
