Double Agent : The Critic And Society

Attribution
Morris Dickstein
Publication Details
Book, Oxford University Press, 1992
Description
Emphasizing the relation of critics to the larger world of history and society, Dickstein takes a fresh look at the long tradition of cultural criticism associated with the “man of letters,” and traces the development of new techniques of close reading in the aftermath of modernism. In Double Agent, one of our leading critics offers both a perceptive look at the great public critics of the last hundred years as well as a deeply felt critique of criticism today.
