REVIEWS

 

Reviews of Buchanan’s books (poetry, novels, essays, as well as other miscellaneous works) are available below. Buchanan’s plays are dealt with elsewhere. Links to these reviews are also available from other pages (Bibliography, Poetry, Fiction, Essays) but I thought it might be useful to list them all here. I doubt whether anyone will read them all in sequence, however, it does give a good indication of how Buchanan’s reputation suffered over the years. There is also a final section of notices of some of Buchanan’s contributions to magazines, which includes a brief entry on his own journal, Light.
