Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. "The Institution of Criticism" is a collection of critical essays by Professor Peter Uwe Hohendahl. The book was translated from the German by Henry Schmidt, et al, and concerns the nature and purpose of literary criticism, with especial emphasis on the writers and literature of Germany From the…book's Introduction : "The recognition that a literary text is embedded in a historical context that can be defined in cultural, political, and social terms has been common knowledge for some time. This insight, however has not been fully appreciated in the examination of various forms of literary criticism -- scholarly books and articles, journalistic essays, book reviews in newspapers, and the like. Yet studies that deal with literary works in one way or another should also be recognized as literary texts and should be seen against their own background." CONTENTS : ** Literary Criticism and the Public Sphere ** Art Evaluation and Reportage: The Aesthetic Theory of the Later Heine. ** The End of an Institution? The Debate over the Function of Literary Criticism in the 1960s ** The Task of Contemporary Literary Criticism ** Promoters, Consumers, and Critics: On the Reception of the Best-Seller ** Prolegomena to a History of Literary Criticism ** Critical Theory, Public Sphere, and Culture: Jürgen Habermas and his Critics.
