Malahat Review

Opis

As a poet and critic of art and literature, and as a social and political philosopher, Sir Herbert Read exerted an important influence on the culture of his time. Not only did he assist and inspire many writers and artists, but through his work for the idea of education through art, he greatly influenced education, in particular the teaching of art and literature in schools.

For this symposium, first issued in 1969 as the ninth number of "The Malahat Review," Professor Skelton has gathered together original essays, poems and drawings which illustrate many aspects of Sir Herbert Read s life and work. "
