Published in 1963. Edited with an Introduction by William Wasserstrom. 
"This Anthology is tangible evidence that 'The Dial' printed more original and influential work than any other journal in America or England. Here are many of (its) now-famous contributors, not always as we know them best. Included are letters from 'The Dial's' international correspondents: Thomas Mann (Germany), T.S. Eliot (London), Ezra Pound (Paris), Jose Ortega y Gasset (Spain). D.H. Lawrence writes a book review, William Carlos Williams discusses Marianne Moore, Gilbert Seldes reviews 'The Great Gatsby', and Paul Claudel gives us 'A Glance at the Soul of Japan'. An unfinished version of Eliot's 'The Hollow Men' and an early version of Pound's 'Fifth Canto' are included and works of Derain, Picasso, Matisse, and other artists are reproduced in this collection. All of the departments of 'The Dial' are represented, and most of the material has not been reprinted elsewhere."

Book in very good condition. Dust jacket has some scuffing and bumping wear at edges.
