Editorial Reviews
Review

"A superb book that will supplant the two dozen or so Carver biographies already on the library shelves. It is an engaging treatment of a fascinating man."--History: Reviews of New Books
"A remarkable study of a remarkable man."--The History Teacher
"An intimate and sensitive psychological portrait, a well-informed intellectual sketch, and an unusually readable scientific treatise, this biography of Carver has a depth and a breadth of research rarely found in such studies."--John Blassingame, Yale University
