Reading George Steiner by Nathan A Scott Jr

Reading George Steiner by Nathan A Scott Jr

George Steiner's accomplishments in criticism, in theory of literature, and in the history of ideas have made him a central figure on the contemporary intellectual scene. He is as widely known for his frequent contributions to the New Yorker and TLS as he is for his many books. In Reading George Steiner Nathan Scott and Ronald Sharp bring together a group of eminent American and European critics to offer the first major assessment of Steiner's work.

The collection is a model of editorial acuity, the essays persuasive and eloquent, ensuring that by the end almost every aspect of the Steiner oeuvre has been mentioned, if not discussed-- Dan Gunn Times Literary Supplement
