Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition, 1st printing (per Random House policy of starting the # line at 2 before 2005). Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine/As New condition. "Of what use is literature to the conduct of life? Why do writers exaggerate its cultural, political, and social importance? Can people be persuaded of its value when the vast majority have never been able to read it at all? Just what is literature, and why must it be less intelligible than other kinds of writing? These are among the fundamental questions posed by Richard Poirier in this strikingly original, lucid, and tough-minded book. He describes how writing gets written and how it gets read, discusses a hidden affinity between technology and literary production, reanimates the idea of 'genius,' explains why Emerson really means it when he calls for the disappearance of literature, proposes that 'density' in writing is preferable to 'difficulty,' and, in a masterful critique of Anglo-American modernism, shows that its catastrophic view of contemporary history can lead to facile idealizations of arts and letters." [jacket copy] "As Poirier tells it, T. S. Eliot spearheaded modernism's assault on American literature. Anglo-American modernism favored writing full of dislocations, of expressions of anxiety, loss and doubt. It made 'difficulty' a virtue and elevated literature to a privileged, exclusive form of discourse. Poets like Frost and Stevens were pushed aside, made to seem naive and optimistic by comparison with modernists. Poirier takes as his starting point Emerson, whose pragmatic outlook defined literature as a testing-ground for the energizing spirit of human will. He follows what he discerns as an Emersonian tradition through such writers as Thoreau, Whitman, William James, Frost and Norman Mailer, 'the most conspicuous Emersonian of the present time.' According to Poirier, literature does not have redemptive powers to change the world but, as 'the Olympus of talk,' literature shows readers how a culture's assumptions can be challenged."--Publishers Weekly. "Richard Poirier's THE RENEWAL OF LITERATURE injects a massive dose of brilliance, iconoclasm and reflection into critical discourse. It is a wonderfully invigorating and always challenging work, a refreshing exercise in completely reanimating cultural categories like genius, style, technology and modernism that have died through sloppy overuse."--Edward Said, Columbia University. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp deckle edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in an intact NF jacket, all quite presentable.
