This collection of essays assesses the work of a number of American intellectuals, including Susan Sontag, F.O. Mathieson, Daniel Bell and Hannah Arendt, who have addressed issues of culture and its multifaceted relations to politics, history, sociology and literary criticism. Concentrating on writing since 1940, the essays examine the central themes of American postwar intellectual history, including the continuing reaction to (or against) modernity and technology, the legacies of Marxism and psychoanalysis, and the re-examination of American founding principles and figures in conservative or liberal terms.

Modern North American Criticism and Theory presents the reader with a comprehensive and critical introduction to the development and institutionalization of literary and cultural studies throughout the twentieth century and at the beginning of the twenty-first. Focusing on the growth and expansion of critical trends and methodologies, with particular essays addressing key figures in their historical and cultural contexts, the book offers a narrative of change, transformation, and the continuous quest for and affirmation of multiple cultural voices and identities. From semiotics and the New Criticism to the identity politics of whiteness studies and the cultural study of masculinity, this book provides an overview of literary and cultural study in North America as a history of questioning, debate, and exploration.

Double Agent is a watershed in the recent revival of interest in the role of the public critic and intellectual who writes about culture, politics, and the arts for an intelligent general audience. Offering acute portraits of critics both famous and neglected, Dickstein traces the evolution of cultural criticism over the last century from Matthew Arnold to New Historicism. He examines the development of practical criticism, the rise and fall of literary journalism, and the growth of American Studies, and rereads the work of critics like Arnold, Walter Pater, I.A. Richards, Roland Barthes, Edmund Wilson, R.P. Blackmur, Lionel Trilling, Alfred Kazin, and George Orwell. In essays and books that are themselves works of literature, these writers made criticism central to the public sphere, balancing social and literary values, politic commitment and aesthetic judgment. Though marginalized or ignored by academic histories of criticism, their example has proved immensely valuable for younger critics eager to find a personal voice and reach a wider public. Dickstein concludes with a lively and provocative dialogue that weighs the claims of recent literary theory and the importance of renewing public culture.

In Hans Christian Andersen in American Literary Criticism of the Nineteenth Century, Herbert Rowland argues that the literary criticism accompanying the publication of Hans Christian Andersen’s works in the United States compares favorably in scope, perceptiveness, and chronological coverage with the few other national receptions of Andersen outside of Denmark. Rowland contends that American commentators made it abundantly evident that, in addition to his fairy tales, Andersen wrote several novels, travelogues, and an autobiography which were all of more than common interest. In the process, Rowland shows that American commentators “naturalized” Andersen in the United States by confronting the sensationalism in the journalism and literature of the time with the perceived wholesomeness of Andersen’s writing, deploying his long fiction on both sides of the debate over the nature and relative value of the romance and the novel, and drawing on three of his works to support their positions on slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction.

Excerpt from The Achievement of American Criticism: Representative Selections From Three Hundred Years of American Criticism This volume is the first to offer representative selections of American literary criticism from its beginnings up to and including contemporary criticism. It is designed as a text in literary criticism courses and as a supplementary volume in the study of American literature. The selection of the individual essays has been guided primarily by the extent to which each essay is (1) representative of the critical theory and method of its author; (2) an elucidation of the critical background of the period in which it was written; and (3) a significant contribution to an understanding of the growth of American literary theory and of American literature. The essays are presented in a historical framework-in terms of the various periods and literary movements that have characterized the growth of American writing. Some of this material is here available in book form for the first time; much has previously appeared only in books or periodicals that are now scarce and long out of print. An attempt has been made to balance the types of critical essays represented: evaluations of the work of major American poets and prose writers; statements of literary theory by American poets and writers of fiction; expositions of critical standards and methods by important literary critics; and studies of the relation between the writer and his age, his society, and his traditions. In the selection of essays, emphasis has been placed upon American criticism from the beginnings to the close of the nineteenth century because it is this period which has never adequately been covered by an anthology and because the critical essays of this period are less accessible to the student than are those of the present century. A number of selections have been included, however, to illustrate the development and main trends of modern criticism. The introductions aim to show the conditions under which literary criticism developed in America, the problems with which it was concerned, and the development of its methods and standards, from the earliest critical writings of the Puritans to the present time. Critical and literary theory has been presented only in its general outlines, but sufficient analysis of each writer and of the background of each period is provided so that the student may be able to read the essays with an understanding of the author's general critical theory and the relationship of the essay to the period in which it was written. For those who are interested in a more extensive study of the development of American criticism, the critical introductions have been documented and the critical essays have been annotated.
