Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. Here is "Satire or Evasion? : Black Perspectives on Huckleberry Finn", published by Duke University Press in 1994. This is the paperback Third Printing. From the book's cover write-up : "Though one of America's best-known and loved novels, Mark Twain's "Adventure of Huckleberry Finn" has often been the object of fierce controversy because of its racist language and reliance on racial stereotypes. "Satire or Evasion? : Black Perspectives on Huckleberry Finn" is a collection of fifteen essays by prominent African American scholars and critics, who examine the novel's racist elements and assesses the degree to which Twain's ironies succeed or fail to turn those elements into a satirical attack on racism. Ranging from the laudatory to the openly hostile, these essays include personal impressions of "Huckleberry Finn", descriptions of classroom experience with the book, evaluations of its ironic and allegorical aspects, explorations of nineteenth-century context, and appraisal of its effects on twentieth-century African American writers."

Hardcover. 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.
