The Armed Vision


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.

Book Description







Norman N. Holland


Book Description

Norman Holland was unquestionably the leading 20th-century American psychoanalytic literary critic. Long known as the Dean of American psychoanalytic literary critics, Holland produced an enormous body of scholarship that appeals to both neophytes in the field and advanced researchers, many of whom have been influenced by his writings. Holland was one of the first proponents of reader-response criticism, the theorist of readers' identity themes, and the author of fifteen books that have become classics in the field. Jeffrey Berman analyzes all of Holland's books, and many of his 250 scholarly articles, highlighting continuities and discontinuities in the critic's thinking over time. A controversial if not polarizing figure, Holland is discussed in relation to his closest colleagues, including Murray Schwartz, Bernard Paris, and Leslie Fiedler, as well as his fiercest critics, among them Frederick Crews, David Bleich, and Jonathan Culler, creating a dynamic and personal portrait. Insofar as this text illuminates the evolving mind of a premier literary critic, it produces a parallel profile of the American reader, the primary object of Holland's extensive work.




The Caught Image


Book Description

Gale considers the imagery in all of the 135 novels and short stories of Henry James and presents what may well be the first extensive treatment of figurative language in the complete works of any novelist. All of the images have been recorded, but the author does not claim too much for his deductions concerning them. Originally published in 1964.
