"First published in 1928, The Tower was Yeats's first collection published after receiving the Nobel Prize in 1923, and it is perhaps the major work that most cemented his reputation as one of the foremost literary figures of the twentieth century." - Renard Press Josephine Strongin was a close associate of famed sociologist Lewis Mumford. "In her poetry, novels, and translations, Babette Deutsch interwove elements of vastly different cultures and times, from the Bible and Shakespeare to Russian and Japanese literature. Deutsch first book of poems, Banners, was published in 1919. Her second book of poetry, Honey Out of a Rock, dealt with Jewish and biblical subjects and incorporated elements of haiku and imagism. She translated Pushkin and other Russian poets and wrote literary criticism on Shakespeare and Coleridge as well as modern poets. Her knowledge of her field was highly regarded, and she served as a consultant for the Library of Congress from 1960 to 1966. She lectured at the New School briefly before becoming a professor at Columbia University, where she taught for almost thirty years, retiring in 1971." - Jewish Women's Archive.
