PREFACE AND CONFESSIONS OF THE AUTHOR
The embodiment or incarnation of meaning in image has been a chief element in style, in the struggle of literatures to come to terms with life, and in the ultimate questions of religion. This book is the result of years of labor to understand the phenomenon in modern literature. I have selected three authorsT. S. Eliot, Ernest Hemingway, and William Faulknerin whom the struggle is especially apparent, and in many ways the choice is somewhat arbitrary. No writer of merit can fail to consider image and meaning. To save space and time I have treated some works of these writers briefly or not at allEliot's "The Hollow Men" and his plays, Faulkner's Pylon and Snopes, and Hemingway's short stories.
I am much indebted to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and Emory University for years of support and free time. The Yale University Library has been especially kind to me. Albert E. Stone, William B. Dillingham, and James M. Cox were unusually helpful with different versions of the manuscript. From many friends and my family I derived emotional support during years when the end of a long study seemed to fade beyond the western stars.
