Editorial Reviews:
Review:"Readers who have never stopped to think about the different points at which a work might be said to begin (at the first word/ at the author's idea? at the formation of a literary mode? at the beginning of a historical period?) will be surprised, stimulated, instructed, impressed."
New Yorker
Review:"Said's attempt is to recapture the modern writer's aims in beginning his work and to affirm the validity of creative intentions....It is the sense of total independence and, at times, of prophetic visions, which make ["Beginnings"] such exhilarating reading."

Book Description: Basic Books, New York, 1975. hardcover. New York. 1975. Basic Books. 1st Printing. Previous Owner's Name In Front, Otherwise Very Good In Worn Dustjacket W/Some Tears & Chipping. 414 pages. hardcover. 0465005802. What does it mean to ‘begin’ a work of literature, philosophy, or criticism? How is it possible to think of ‘beginnings’ at all when, after centuries of human experience, surely everything that can be has been thought and said? How does one even contemplate ‘beginning’ yet again - as every thinker and writer must? It is to these beguiling, troublesome questions that Edward Said, one of America’s most widely respected younger critics, addresses himself in BEGINNINGS, a work of extraordinary erudition and profundity. The quest for an understanding of what it means to ‘begin’ takes Edward Said though the masterworks of Western literature, to the cyclical philosophy of Vico (whose thought has never before been so tellingly linked to contemporary consciousness) and on to what is certainly the most brilliant explication of post-war French criticism and philosophy yet written, offering illuminating explications of Levi-Strauss’s structuralism, Foucault’s archaeology, and Derrida’s philosophy of writing. To read Edward Said is to experience at first hand the excitement of a fine mind freely and fully engaged in the definitively human adventure, that of intellectual wonder and discovery. keywords: Philosophy Literature Literary Criticism. inventory # 23242 Previous Owner's Name In Front, Otherwise Very Good In Worn Dustjacket W/Some Tears & Chipping.
