The Experience of Literature

Lionel Trilling

0/5 ( ratings)

This is a large Hardcover book, 1320 pages of smaller than normal size print. I wold think it would take longer to read this book than it would the Bible. Holt Rinehart Winston; 1st ptg. edition B000OQ9F9M Product 10.1 x 7.4 x 2.2 inches Shipping 4.4 pounds Trilling has exerted a wide influence upon literature and as university professor at Columbia, where he taught English literature, and in his long association with Partisan Review, Kenyon Review, and the Kenyon School of English . He considered himself a true "liberal"---having a "vision of a general enlargement of [individual] freedom and rational direction in human life. Yet even liberalism, Trilling insisted, was simply one of several ways of organizing the complexity of life; however, it can reveal "variousness and possibility" just as literature, its subject, does. Trilling was viewed as a genteel moralist, but never would settle for mere simplification in literary analysis even if it led to understanding.
