The Humanities and the Dream of America by Geoffrey Galt Harpham
Argues that the humanities - the academic disciplines that study the potential of the human - represent a 'dream of America.' This title explores a number of linked problems: the role, at once inspiring and disturbing, played by modern philology in the discipline's formation; and, the reasons behind the humanities' perpetual state of crisis.
Geoffrey Galt Harpham is president and director of the National Humanities Center. He is the author of many books, including, most recently, The Character of Criticism.
