The Creativity of Perception: Essays in the Genesis of Literature and Art - Hardcover
The Creativity of Perception is a phrase which resonates with significance in literary criticism, art history and philosophy, and which is a fitting epitaph for Philip Brockbank, doyen of recent Shakespearean editions and passionate student of art, verse and human perception. Coined by Leavis, in conversation with Ernst Gombrich, it also precisely captures the concerns of this book - how do we see the world and how do we render that world in art (literary and pictorial). This volume contains essays on Milton, Marvell, Blake, Pope, Keats, Jouce and Renaissance painting. It is a stimulating, provocative and urbane collection by a master of creative perception. It argues passionately for the unfashionable belief that appreciation is more important than criticism, and that the tendency of recent criticism to cleave to crisis and disruption overwhelms the details, and nature, of art and verse.
