Published in 1985, "Forms of Attention" by Sir Frank Kermode consists of the series of famous Welleck Library Lectures presented by Professor Kermode. The book received attention in the form of high praise from colleagues and critics alike. This is the First Edition, published by the University of Chicago Press. Here is an excerpt from the jacket's write-up : "When a work of art is received into some approved canon, we consider it more attentively and may be impelled to say more profound things about it; at any rate we try to keep on saying different things. the processes, therefore, by which works are canonized themselves deserve greater attention than they have received. How are works of art deemed worthy of our attention? How do they remain part of an accepted or revered canon? What does the canon formation reveal about the standards and practices of the academy? " 'Forms of Attention' is an important addition to a line of distinguished books by Frank Kermode, and it bears its predecessor's admirable qualities : extraordinary compression without loss of lucidity, accessibility to non-experts, and theoretical currency — a state - of - the - art timelessness that has long been the trademark of Kermode's writing." (From the Foreword by Frank Lentricchia) CHAPTERS : ** Botticelli Recovered ** Cornelius and Voltemand : Doubles in "Hamlet" ** Disentangling Knowledge from Opinion SERIES : The Welleck Library Lectures SERIES EDITOR - FOREWORD : Frank Lentricchia TITLE : The Forms of Attention AUTHOR : Frank Kermode (1919 - 2010) He was the Lord Northcliffe Professor of Modern English Literature at University College London and the King Edward VII Professor of English Literature at Cambridge University.
