V alidity in Interpretation
by E. D. Hirsch, Jr.
By demonstrating the uniformity and universality of the principles
of valid interpretation of verbal texts of any sort, this closely
reasoned examination provides a theoretical foundation for a
discipline that is fundamental to virtually all humanistic studies.
The author shows that many confusions can be avoided if the dis–
tinctions between meaning and significance, interpretation and
criticism are correctly understood.

D. H. Lawrence as a Literary Critic
by David J. Gordon
"Excellent study.... It is odd that no one has attempted a book
on Lawrence's criticism before; but fortunate, for this is the right
moment for it ... and Mr. Gordon is the right
man."-The
Guardian.
"By bringing critic and artist into one orbit, [the author]
enforces Lawrence's position as a vital modernist."
