DESCRIPTION - Over the past thirty years, the study of language has moved to the fore in philosophy, psychology, anthropology and the social sciences. Linguistics now stands at or very near the center of argument on the nature of mind and society, and the study of language, of the storage and transmission of ordered meaning, now is the main bridge between the biological sciences and the humanities. In this collection of his recent essays, George Steiner relates the 'language revolution' to our experience of literature. In what ways have the act of reading and the process of imaginative response altered under the pressures of the new theories of grammar? Is the personal extraterritoriality of certain masters - Beckett, Borges, Nabokov - representative of a larger change in the relation of the writer to his native speech? Are there points at which the recent developments in the life sciences touch directly on our image of man as, primarily, a 'language animal'? In Steiner's view, the incorporation of the energies and speculative forms of science into educated literacy and into the normal life of the imagination will revitalize the shape of our lives, the beliefs we profess, and the expectations we may have of the survival of a sickened culture. inventory #6840 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket With Some Tears.
