Reading George Steiner - Hardcover
"No critic, no man of letters in our time, has surpassed the scope, seriousness, verbal virtuosity--truly, he is the Guest of Language--and sheer vivacity of mind of George Steiner. The various, supple, often subtle, essays of this volume do critical honor to Steiner, his fierce poetics of meaning, his shocking deed of semantic trust. And unlike so much contemporary criticism, they all share a tact of the heart."--Ihab Hassan.

From the Back Cover:
George Steiner's accomplishments in criticism, in theory of literature, and in the history of ideas have made him a central figure on the contemporary intellectual scene. He is as widely known for his frequent contributions to the New Yorker and TLS as he is for his many books. In "Reading George Steiner" Nathan Scott and Ronald Sharp bring together a group of eminent American and European critics to offer the first major assessment of Steiner's work.
Review:
"The collection is a model of editorial acuity, the essays persuasive and eloquent, ensuring that by the end almost every aspect of the Steiner oeuvre has been mentioned, if not discussed." -- Dan Gunn, Times Literary Supplement

Book Description Condition: Muy bueno. George Steiner's accomplishments in criticism, in theory of literature, and in the history of ideas have made him a central figure on the contemporary intellectual scene. He is as widely known for his frequent contributions to the "New Yorker" and "TLS" as he is for his many books. In "Reading George Steiner", Nathan Scott and Ronald Sharp bring together a group of eminent American and European critics to offer an assessment of Steiner's work. Approaching Steiner's writings in the wide range of fields that have engaged his attention over the past 35 years, the authors discuss topics from literary theory and criticism to language and culture, from religion and philosophy to Jewishness and the Holocaust. In the book's concluding chapter, Steiner himself offers a "Responsion" to the essays.
