THE §lBIlIlElLD OF AClBIlIJLlLES
LIONEL TRILLING's
most
provocative work of criticism - "bound
to be one of the significant volumes of
1955."
-HOWARD MUMFORD JONES. Soturdoy Review
In this warm and lively book, Lionel Trilling is concerned with
that most personal subject of all-the human self-and he
ranges
from
Keats
to
Henry James, from
Anna Karenina
to George
Orwell,
to
show the various forms the self assumea
in
literature.
Even more than his widely-read
The Liberal Imagination,
these
nine essays will delight and fascinate with their
lurprising
in–
sights, their refreshing point of view. "No other American critic
has
the
power Trilling has of discerning and elucidating the
difficult relations between general ideas, moral ideas,
The
abstract ideas, and the concreteness of literature."
