Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT)…. - ein gutes Exemplar / a good copy. - Steven Cassedy takes aim at two of the most enduring myths of modern criticism: that it is secular, and that it is new and autonomous. He argues that although modern criticism is often forbiddingly scientific and technical, the modern critic remains something of a mystic. Every school of modern criticism, from structuralist to postmodernist, rests on faith in an Eden, an irreducible belief, a mythsuch as the common myth that there is an intrinsic distinction between poetic language and ordinary language. The modern critic attempts to abandon all mystical faith; this is the flight from Eden. But it is always in vain. Modern literary criticism and theory are traditionally assumed to have come from France, and relatively recently. In fact, according to Cassedy, the entire modern critical consciousness was already formed by the early twentieth century in the minds of writers who were primarily neither professional critics nor philosophers, but poets. Some were FrenchMallarmé, Valéry- but others were not: Rilke, Bely, and the Russian avant-garde poet Velimir Khlebnikov. In them we find the same Edenic faith, the same effort to abandon it, and the same failure of that effort. By exposing the hidden article of faith in modern schools of criticism, Cassedy demonstrates the futility of the flight from Eden. By showing how poets writing at the end of the last century and the beginning of this one anticipated modern criticism, he points to that criticisms ultimate dependence on the very field from which it has sought to declare its independence, literature. / Contents A Note on Translation and Transliteration Introduction: How Literary Criticism Came into Its Own in This Country and How the Poets Got There First PART I.
