Abstract

Die Radikalität der Exilerfahrung führte viele ausgewanderte Intellektuelle, Schriftsteller und Künstler dazu, ihre Weltanschauung neu zu orientieren. Dies wirkte sich in vielfacher Hinsicht aus, u.a. philosophisch, psychologisch, sozial, politisch und religiös, und zeigte sich in epistolarischen, essayistischen, literararischen und anderen künstlerischen Formen. Dabei beschränkt sich das Exilphänomen keineswegs auf den Nationalsozialismus, sondern ist z.B. auch im Mittelalter aufzufinden. Der vorliegende Band geht den Strängen der exilbedingten Neuorientierungen nach, ausgehend von einer Tagung der North American Society for Exile Studies, die im Oktober 2008 an der Saint Louis University stattfand.

Abstract

"The Critic in the Modern World explores the work of six influential literary critics--Samuel Johnson, William Hazlitt, Matthew Arnold, T.S. Eliot, Lionel Trilling and James Wood--each of whom occupies a distinct historical moment. It considers how these representative critics have constructed their public personae, the kinds of arguments they have used, and their core principles and philosophies. Spanning three hundred years of cultural history, The Critic in the Modern World considers the various ways in which literary critics have positioned themselves in relation to the modern tradition of descriptive criticism. In providing a lucid account of each critic's core principles and philosophies, it considers the role of the literary critic as a public figure, interpreting him as someone who is compelled to address the wider issues of individualism and the social implications of the democratising, secularising, liberalising forces of modernity". Provided by publisher.
