Book Description

Excerpt from The Armed Vision: A Study in the Methods of the Modern Literary Criticism This abridged edition lacks two of the original chap ters, those dealing with Edmund Wilson and Christopher Caudwell, as well as the selected bibliography and a small amount of background and relatively peripheral material, all of which can readily be consulted in the unabridged edition. Having chosen to keep the book a record of a te markable quarter of a century of critical flowering rather than make it a continuing account, I have not_ attempted to bring it up. To date. A number of errors and infelicities have been corrected, though I do not doubt that many more have been retained. Again, my debt of gratitude to friends, acquaintances, and even strangers who have helped and advised me in cutting and alteration is too substantial to be individually acknowledged.
