| Beschreibung: | Includes bibliographical references and index Denis Donoghue -- Frank Kermode -- George Steiner "Impressive in scope and erudition, Christopher Knight's Uncommon Readers focuses on three critics whose voices - mixing eloquence with pugnacity - stand out as among the most notable independent critics working during the last half-century. The critics are Denis Donoghue, Frank Kermode, and George Steiner, and their independence - a striking characteristic in a time of corporate criticism - is reflective of both their backgrounds (Donoghue's Catholic upbringing in Protestant-ruled Northern Ireland; Kermode's Manx beginnings; and Steiner's Jewish upbringing in pre-Holocaust Europe) and their temperaments. Each represents a party of one, a fact that has, on the one hand, made them the object of the occasional vituperative dismissal and, on the other, contributed to their influence and remarkable longevity." "Since the 1950s, Steiner, Donoghue, and Kermode have each maintained a highly public profile, regularly contributing to such influential publications as Encounter, New Yorker, New York Review of Books, Times Literary Supplement, and the London Review of Books. This aspect of their work receives particular attention in Uncommon Readers, for it illustrates a renewed interest in the role of the public critic, especially in relation to the genre of the literary-review essay, and signals a sustained conversation with an educated public - namely the common reader." "Knight makes the argument for the review essay as a serious and still viable genre, and he examines the three critics in light of this assumption. He expounds upon the critics' separate interests - Kermode's identification with discussions of canonicity, Steiner's with cultural politics, and Donoghue's with the persistent claims of the imagination - while also revealing the ways in which their work often reflects theological interests. Lastly, he attempts to adjudicate some of the conflicts that have arisen between these critics and other literary theorists (especially the post-structuralists), and to discuss the question of whether it is still possible for critics to work independently. Original and deliberative, Uncommon Readers presents a renewed defense of the tradition of the common reader."--Jacket |

University of Toronto Press 2003 1 Online-Ressource (xiii, 506 pages) txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Includes bibliographical references and index Denis Donoghue -- Frank Kermode -- George Steiner "Impressive in scope and erudition, Christopher Knight's Uncommon Readers focuses on three critics whose voices - mixing eloquence with pugnacity - stand out as among the most notable independent critics working during the last half-century. The critics are Denis Donoghue, Frank Kermode, and George Steiner, and their independence - a striking characteristic in a time of corporate criticism - is reflective of both their backgrounds (Donoghue's Catholic upbringing in Protestant-ruled Northern Ireland; Kermode's Manx beginnings; and Steiner's Jewish upbringing in pre-Holocaust Europe) and their temperaments. Each represents a party of one, a fact that has, on the one hand, made them the object of the occasional vituperative dismissal and, on the other, contributed to their influence and remarkable longevity." "Since the 1950s, Steiner, Donoghue, and Kermode have each maintained a highly public profile, regularly contributing to such influential publications as Encounter, New Yorker, New York Review of Books, Times Literary Supplement, and the London Review of Books. This aspect of their work receives particular attention in Uncommon Readers, for it illustrates a renewed interest in the role of the public critic, especially in relation to the genre of the literary-review essay, and signals a sustained conversation with an educated public - namely the common reader." "Knight makes the argument for the review essay as a serious and still viable genre, and he examines the three critics in light of this assumption. He expounds upon the critics' separate interests - Kermode's identification with discussions of canonicity, Steiner's with cultural politics, and Donoghue's with the persistent claims of the imagination - while also revealing the ways in which their work often reflects theological interests. Lastly, he attempts to adjudicate some of the conflicts that have arisen between these critics and other literary theorists (especially the post-structuralists), and to discuss the question of whether it is still possible for critics to work independently. Original and deliberative, Uncommon Readers presents a renewed defense of the tradition of the common reader."--Jacket Donoghue, Denis Kermode, Frank / 1919- Steiner, George / 1929- Donoghue, Denis swd Kermode, Frank swd Steiner, George swd Donoghue, Denis fast Kermode, Frank / 1919-2010 fast Steiner, George / 1929- fast Kermode, Frank / 1919-2010 Kermode, Frank Steiner, George Kermode, Frank 1919-2010 Steiner, George 1929- Donoghue, Denis 1928-2021 (DE-588)119068192 gnd rswk-swf Steiner, George 1929-2020 (DE-588)119200244 gnd rswk-swf Kermode, Frank 1919-2010 (DE-588)119014440 gnd rswk-swf 1900 - 1999 fast Geschichte 1900-2000 Critique / Histoire / 20e siècle Livres / Recension / Histoire / 20e siècle LITERARY CRITICISM / Semiotics & Theory bisacsh Literatuurkritiek gtt Boekbesprekingen gtt LITERARY CRITICISM / Books & Reading bisacsh Book reviewing fast Criticism fast Geschichte Literaturkritik Criticism History 20th century Book reviewing History 20th century Steiner, George 1929-2020 (DE-588)119200244 p 1\p DE-604 Donoghue, Denis 1928-2021 (DE-588)119068192 p 2\p DE-604 Kermode, Frank 1919-2010 (DE-588)119014440 p 3\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=468671 Aggregator Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
