Condition: Gut. IX, 320 S. / p. Sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Leading literary critics, important writers and reviewers, and distinguished scholars grace a remarkable collection of essays on reading, writing, and teaching - and on a set of relations among these activities that has animated academic and publishing circles in America for half a century. The collection marks forty years of teaching at Amherst College by William H. Pritchard, Henry Clay Folger Professor of English, whose many books include W. B. Teats: A Critical Anthology; Randall Jarrell: A Literary Life; Playing It by Ear: Literary Essays and Reviews; Lives of the Modern Poets; Frost: A Literary Life Reconsidered; and his teaching autobiography, English Papers: A Teaching Life. -- Under Criticism: Essays for William H. Pritchard boasts a literary-historical sweep that goes beyond even Pritchard's own; in format the collection represents a spectrum of contemporary criticism ranging from classroom memoirs to analytic essays-in-criticism to assessment of the state of academic letters today Some of these various tales out of school are highly personal, and as a group they exhibit considerable ideological divergence. Marxist, humanist, phenomenologist, deconstructionist, feminist, classicist, postmodernist, and revanchist positions all are aired. -- Many of the writers gathered here have had a role in literary education at Amherst. All share certain manners of approach and habits of focus: crisp and frank judgment, a spirit of decency, a disposition to wield ideas as tools of criticism and not vice versa. As Herbert E Tucker says in his introduction, criticism desires "to hail creative power by responding to it as if for the first time. Because criticism may stop at nothing, original response means taking even the hallowed classic or finished masterpiece as an open question that needs to be talked back to. Join this game and you find yourself under criticism." -- Under Criticism appears at a moment when American literary life needs reminding about the habits of attention to word and voice that Amherst in William Pritchard's day has stood for, and that the contributors at once discuss and exemplify. It will serve well readers who are interested in theory, criticism, pedagogy, and the wider realm of letters. - Contents -- Herbert F.
