''Life Studies'' is the fourth book of poems by Robert Lowell. Most critics (including Helen Vendler, Steven Gould Axelrod, Adam Kirsch, and others) consider it one of Lowell's most important books, and the Academy of American Poets named it one of their ''Groundbreaking Books.''〔(Poets.org )〕 Helen Vendler called ''Life Studies'' Lowell's "most original book." 〔(Helen Vendler Lecture on Lowell. Poets.org. 18 November 2009 )〕 It won the National Book Award for Poetry in 1960.〔 ("National Book Awards – 1960" ). National Book Foundation. Retrieved 2012-02-25. (With acceptance speech by Lowell and essay by Dilruba Ahmed from the Awards 60-year anniversary blog.)〕 ==Publication== ''Life Studies'' was first published in London by Faber & Faber. This was to allow for it to be entered for selection by the Poetry Book Society, one condition being that the first edition must be British. Because of the rush to release the book in Britain, the British first edition does not include the "91 Revere Street" section. The first American edition was published in 1959 by Farrar, Straus and Cudahy based in New York City. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Life Studies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
