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.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. NEW HARDBACK. 1st/1st. DJ in Clear, ARCHIVAL MYLAR WRAP. NO remainder mark. "¿The conscious extraction of meaning from a procession of words is not, after all, the only way of interacting with a text, or with anything else in the world¿¿ A dealer in old books, lost books ¿ books no-one knows even exist. A man who works for him, prizing meaning from places where it is deeply hidden. A book, at first unintelligible¿but which begins to reveal its secrets in ways the translator could never have guessed. This is the story of The Gist, but that¿s only the beginning of the journey. Michael Marshall Smith¿s original novelette was then translated into French by Benoît Domis, before being rendered back into English by Nicholas Royle ¿who had no access to the original text or author during the process. All three versions are presented in this edition. The idea is to discover what happened during the process, how much the story changed while passing through two other minds and another language¿ To see if The Gist survived." | SHIPS AIRMAIL INTERNATIONALLY.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Date on the title page. Printed in the U.S.A. First Printing of the Second, Revised Edition. Translators' Preface, Author's Preface, Detailed Contents, Footnotes, Bibliographical Notes, Index; xii, 333 pages [+ 4 pages ads]. The original red cloth is quite good; however, the boards are peeking through at the bottom corner tips and the spine is sunned, with some fraying. The gilt lettering remains bright on the upper board; on the spine, it is less so, but still legible. The interior is bright, despite a touch of normal toning, and gentle penciling by my philosopher-father on six pages. There is an impressive-looking signature in ink on the front free endpaper; also the remains of a small label---perhaps a review copy. Top edge gilt. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] "In this book the attempt has been made to differentiate the histories of the separate branches of mathematical science. There are considered in order number-systems and number-symbols, arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, allowing, as far as possible, within the narrow confines of a single branch of the elements, a rapid and sure orientation."---from the Author's Preface. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Xiii, 327 Pp. Green Cloth, Spine Gilt. First Printing Indicated. Fine In Fine Dust Jacket. With Gift Inscription From Both Of The Translators. Per Wikipedia, Joseph Arthur De Gobineau ( 1816 - 1882) Was A French Aristocrat Who Is Best Known For Helping Introduce Scientific Race Theory And "Racial Demography", And For Developing The Theory Of The Aryan Master Race And Nordicism. Known To His Contemporaries As A Novelist, Diplomat And Travel Writer, He Was An Elitist Who, In The Immediate Aftermath Of The Revolutions Of 1848, Wrote An Essay On The Inequality Of The Human Races. In It He Argued That Aristocrats Were Superior To Commoners And That Aristocrats Possessed More Aryan Genetic Traits Because Of Less Interbreeding With Inferior Races. Gobineau's Writings Were Quickly Praised By White Supremacist, Pro-Slavery Americans Like Josiah C. Nott And Henry Hotze, Who Translated His Book Into English. They Omitted Around 1,000 Pages Of The Original Book, Including Those Parts That Negatively Described Americans As A Racially Mixed Population. Inspiring A Social Movement In Germany Named Gobinism, His Works Were Also Influential On Prominent Antisemites Like Richard Wagner, Wagner's Son-In-Law Houston Stewart Chamberlain, The Romanian Politician Professor A. C. Cuza, And Leaders Of The Nazi Party, Who Later Edited And Re-Published His Work. [The Full Wikipedia Entry Is Almost Unbelievably Appalling, As He Was A Full Blown And Precise Racist In Almost Every Word He Uttered And Every Action He Undertook, And Never Undertook Any Constructive Project In The Real World, Writing From His Own Imagined Interpretation Of Th World, But Served Aristocratic France In Many Diplomatic Posts For Decades Nevertheless].
