The Universal Dance

Edited by J.L. Watson

It is not widely known that Charles Brasch, poet and editor, was also a prose writer and lecturer of considerable critical acumen and wide-ranging interest. As a poet responding poetically to other poets, artists and thinkers, Brasch was that rare being, an idealist who bore witness to his ideals without faltering.

This volume of essays and lectures is intended to stand beside Landfall, the poetry, and the autobiography Indirections, as a record of that uncompromising vision.

The editor

J.L. WATSON was a senior lecturer in English at the University of Otago.
