"has maintained a dramatically high standard of intel–
lectual and literary seriousness throughout his career. In some
unique way, he manages to be deeply engaged, and yet tough in
his resistance to unworthy fashions."
-
ELIZABETH HARDWICK
"For 30 years - I suppose it must be - his enormously
wide reading, his learning and his ever-questioning response to
many literatures have made him, to my mind, one of the wisest
and most nourishing of American critics."

S. PRITCHETT
"Since Mr. Rahv has other gifts besides brains and the
strength to use them - learning, originality, the sense of the uses
and limits of an idea - his criticism is very good indeed."

"Literature and the Sixth Sense is long overdue. Rahv's essays
on James and on the function of criticism are among the
best of our time." -
