description: Wheelock's (1886-1978) memoir is based on tape recorded interviews conducted in 1967 for the Oral History Research Office at Columbia U., with Wheelock's stipulation that they not be used until January 1, 1990. In addition to his writing of poetry as a schoolboy, and a Harvard apprenticeship, the text covers his career as a poet, his friendships with a wide range of literary figures, and the 46 years spent at Charles Scribner's Sons as an editor who assisted and then succeeded Maxwell Perkins as editor in chief. Bruccoli (English, U. of S. Carolina) is considered the leading authority on the House of Scribner and its authors. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
