Descrizione libro Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Volume II of a Trilogy. Stated First Edition. 442pp. Bright, clean & tight paperback, unread, in FINE condition. The middle volume of the literary critical study, The Prophetic Poet and the Spirit of the Age, that starts with Why Flannery O'Connor Stayed Home and ends with Why Hawthorne Was Melancholy. Montgomery's critical project centers on the local genius Flannery O'Connor and her artistic/thematic connections to Poe, Hawthorne and many others. "This study, when all three volumes are published, promises to be one of the most remarkable books of our time."--Andrew Lyle. "What a fine book Professor Montgomery has given us. His careful, richly detailed thought, discursive in presentation but cogent in overall effect, is turned upon Flannery O'Connor . . . and upon the literary, philosophical, historical and theological thinkers that helped to shape her own fiction and nonfiction."--Sally Fitzgerald. "Marion Montgomery's work is an extraordinary achievement. With his direct focus on Flannery O'Connor, whose inner light he makes to shine through every one of his pages, he also deals in depth and with thoroughness with a number of ever-widening circles of questions and problems, e.g., the modern poet's position in a world that has forfeited its community of symbols; the universal tension between poetry's concern with the ineffable and the inadequacy of words; the philosopher's part in having brought about the modern cleavage between the within and the without; the crooked ways of history which to accept is our calling; and the nature of the tension between cultural devices and supernatural sources of order. This makes it a book of many messages. Foremost, of course, it is a work of literary criticism; beyond that, however, one reads it as a much-needed map of our intellectual. history, also as not only a cultural but also a political assessment of our time, and then, beyond, as something bordering on a theology of art. This work is bound to occupy a very high rank among the many superb efforts of those who have thrown light on our present disorder sub specie aeternitatis."--Gerhart Niemeyer. Pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Codice articolo RUB2736
