This is the definitive, collected prose of Ian Hamilton (1938-2001): editor, poet, biographer and literary giant. Responsible for the creation of the influential poetry magazine, the Review, in the 1960s, Hamilton was also renowned for his biographical work on Robert Lowell and important literary studies which formed an integral part of the critical landscape throughout the latter half of the twentieth century.
In a career spanning more than four decades, Hamilton produced several hundred articles, reviews and essays, which have never been collated into one, definitive volume, until now.
Curated with the help of Hamilton's son, Matthew, Along the Razor's Edge is a testament to the writer's uniquely intelligent prose.
