Dictionary of Literary Influences
Edited By: John Powell
The study of literary influence is in some ways a very old one. It has often been practiced in relation to novelists, poets, philosophers, and men of letters generally. Because they write, it has been supposed, they are greatly influenced by others who write. Literary influences are less often studied in relation to painters, architects, athletes, musicians, scientists, economists, and businessmen. As they too read, and have in large measure been educated both formally and informally by literature, the impact of the printed word on these cultural figures should be explored. The relationship between their achievements and their reading will not only tell us a great deal about the history of our culture, it will inspire us with a new appreciation for the possibilities of its future.
