George Seferis: Waiting for the Angel, A Biography
"Beaton's treatment of both the literary and political facets of Seferis's life - and their interrelation - is carefully researched, judicious, and felicitously expressed. The biography is not only an essential source for readers of Seferis's poetry; the evocation of his diplomatic career makes it valuable reading for all with an interest in twentieth-century Greek history." Edmund Keeley, co-translator of Seferis's Collected Poems "This is a splendid work, one that will bring one of the twentieth century's two finest poets (Yeats is the other) to a wide audience which needs, more than ever, to hear his strong, beautiful voice."
