Description
In the years since Blackmur's death in 1965, literary criticism has changed significantly. Partly in reaction to the 30-year sway of formalist New Criticism exemplified by Blackmur, John Crowe Ransom, and Allen Tate, it has become fashionable to embrace structuralist and poststructuralist literary theory in an affort to shift attention from the art object and the artist's voice to the cultural and linguistic systems or codes that govern discourse. In the process, Blackmur has become part of show more literary history, respected but unread. In this carefully edited selection of Blackmur's essays, Donoghue, a keen critic of modern writing, has rediscovered Blackmur's impressive independence and insight.
