...sophomore year be submitted a course essay on "Romantic Hellenism" to Irving Babbitt, who liked it so much that he encouraged him to enter it in the Bowdoin Prize competition. He not only won that but saw it published soon after by the Harvard University Press as The Broken Column. At the age of nineteen, Harry Levin had little competition as the youngest published critic in the country...
