The Character of Criticism

Beschreibung

Argues that the most powerful and effective criticism demands to be read as an expression of a distinctive sensibility, a way of being in the world, it demands, in other words, to be read as a discourse of character. This work unfolds the complex and indirect ways in which human character is expressed in criticism.
