"Rex Warner was considered a literary legend in the 1930s and 1940s. His works remain powerful reflections on the turbulent politics of the period. Fiercer Than Tigers explores the composition, reception, and significance of Rex Warner's work, as well as his personal life; his friendships with C. Day-Lewis and W.H. Auden, contemporary Greek writers; and his intellectual journeys and political beliefs.
Most noteworthy are his translation of Thucydides' The Peloponnesian War, which sold nearly one million copies, his historical novels, original fiction including The Wild Goose Chase and The Aerodrome, and translations that contributed to poet George Seferis' winning of the Nobel Prize.".
"Tabachnick's personal acquaintance with Rex Warner, his access to unpublished sources in repositories and private hands in the United States, Greece, and England, and his many interviews with Warner's former friends, colleagues, students, and relatives, provide a firm basis for his discussion of Warner's life and works. Fiercer Than Tigers offers new insight into the career of an unjustly neglected writer and illuminates the historical period through which he passed."--BOOK JACKET.
