Stuart Merrill
1863-1915

The White Tomb: Selected Writings

1999
Paperback
182 p.

The publication of The White Tomb is literary archeology at its best. As Merrill wrote almost exclusively in French, French-speakers have tended to see him as American while English-speakers have found his work inaccessible to them. Now, a host of respected poets and scholars have translated a sizable selection of Merrill's poems and essays, allowing this fascinating writer to at last be widely read and appreciated in his native language.
