Smiling Through the Cultural Catastrophe by Jeffrey Peter Hart
A guide to some of the literary works which still energize us intellectually, despite the fact that they are no longer central in our courses or thoughts. It traces the main currents of Western culture for those who wish to understand their civilization and the basis for its achievements.
"This excellent book has the same ambitiousness of scope as Harold Bloom's The Western Canon, the same passionate concern for and love of literature, and the same ability to illuminate familiar works with flashes of brilliant insightHart's broad perspective on Western literature gives his book a richness and depth seldom seen in literary criticism these days." Paul Cantor, University of Virginia
