"Ellmann produced a work whose brilliance and sheer readability set
a new standard for literary biography. Updating the volume, he has
taken advantage of two decades of research and discovery,
incorporating new material gleaned largely from private as well as
university and national collections, so that virtually every
page...contains new information....In reading over these pages, one
cannot help but feel renewed admiration for Ellmann and his
magnificent
achievement."--Booklist
"Revised, expanded and wonderful."--The New York Times
