A propos de cet article

Very good in blue and white card wrappers. Spine slightly rolled and worn at the edges. Wrappers somewhat discoloured with age and handling. No tears. Contents very good, but please note that there are some pencil annotations and underlinings [see scans]. 230mm x 155mm. 194 pages. ***This issue contains an interesting ten page long contemporary review of the publication of Joseph Heller's 'Catch 22', which includes the following statements: "Since books not worth reading are not worth reviewing, and Catch 22 is worthless, my review needs justification --- before describing the theme of Catch 22 I must make this point which I trust will not be considered trifling - that its author cannot write". The reviewer is anonymous! ***'Dædalus is a peer-reviewed academic journal founded in 1955 as a replacement for the Proceedings of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the volume and numbering system of which it continues. In 1958 it began quarterly publication as The Journal of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. The journal is currently published by MIT Press on behalf of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. Each issue addresses a theme with essays on the arts, sciences, and humanities.
