About This Item
University of Missouri Press, March 1995. Hardcover. New. One knows, upon reading these essays, that with the death of Cleanth Brooks the literary world lost a powerful voice of wisdom and sanity. His careful meditation on the similarities and distinctions of function of religion and literature, his dissection of the dehumanizing self-destructiveness of structuralism and deconstructionism, his definition of the importance of the humanities in its nourishing of our understanding of our inner natures -- all are advanced with a rare and winsome combination of confidence and humility. There is no cynicism, no scathing denunciation, Because he renders them needless and irrelevant; his readings of Eliot, Ransom, Yeats, Faulkner, Frost, Percy and many others open our minds to engage books and authors in their richness of experience and language, thus demonstrating the craft of criticism at its best. 334 pp.
