From the cover: Geoffrey Handley-Taylor, Founder and chairman of British Poetry-Drama Guild, is one of the countrys most versatile and active creative artists. His books and critical commentaries on the ballet and kindred arts have already earned him wide recognition. His lecture tours keep him constantly before appreciative audiences and are becoming a well-known feature in the cultural life of the British Isles. As Vernon Noble commented in a B.B.C. programme in 1947, He has built up an international reputation, especially distinguished, and when he is not travelling round the world he may be found residing in the City of York. York is the home of British Poetry-Drama Guild, a voluntary organisation which promotes cultural activities throughout Great Britain and overseas. Its membership includes many famous writers and artists.
New Hyperion is the second volume in the Guild series and contains new items of absorbing interest written specially for it by distinguished authors.
