Cornell University Press joins with the rest of the Cornell community, Ithaca, and scholars of literature around the world in mourning the death of M. Abrams, Class of Emeritus Professor of English, at the age of New York Times : M. Cornell Chronicle : M.

Just this summer I was speaking with a colleague from another university about the study of Romanticism, and, without skipping a beat, he singled out The Mirror and the Lamp as one of the best books still for those who want to understand the Romantics.
