This collection honors Christopher Ricks, the eminent textual editor and literary critic and one of the founders of the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics and Writers (ALSCW), an organization thirty-one years young. In the capacious spirit of the ALSCW, this festschrift is a core sample of the generations of Ricks's colleagues, students and friends, many now eminent in their own right, writing in a variety of genres. Essays by, among others, Judith Hawley, Hermione Lee, Peter McDonald, Seamus Perry, Sarah Spence, Rosanna Warren, Susan Wolfson and Michael Wood; memoirs by Phillis Levin, Steven Isenberg, Cassandra Nelson and Owen Boynton, and poems by, among others, A.E. Stallings, Angela Leighton and a remarkable new translation of Nobel Laureate Tomas Tranströmer's Baltics by Ricks's former student Bill Coyle; appreciations by novelist Tim Parks and Jim McCue, Ricks's co-editor of the Poems of T. S. Eliot. Three never-before published talks by his late colleague, the poet and critic Geoffrey Hill.
