Reviews for The Arts and Sciences of Criticism
finely edited and spirited collection of essays on the limitations and possibilites of literary criticism ... In these essays the author is alive and well, aestheic knowledge is distinguished from science, there is a humanistic understanding of consciousness and a notion of purpose, meaning and aesthetic delight.
