Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. "The Institution of Criticism" is a collection of critical essays by Professor Peter Uwe Hohendahl. The book was translated from the German by Henry Schmidt, et al, and concerns the nature and purpose of literary criticism, with especial emphasis on the writers and literature of Germany From the book's Introduction : "The recognition that a literary text is embedded in a historical context that can be defined in cultural, political, and social terms has been common knowledge for some time. This insight, however has not been fully appreciated in the examination of various forms of literary criticism -- scholarly books and articles, journalistic essays, book reviews in newspapers, and the like. Yet studies that deal with literary works in one way or another should also be recognized as literary texts and should be seen against their own background." CONTENTS : ** Literary Criticism and the Public Sphere ** Art Evaluation and Reportage: The Aesthetic Theory of the Later Heine. ** The End of an Institution? The Debate over the Function of Literary Criticism in the 1960s ** The Task of Contemporary Literary Criticism ** Promoters, Consumers, and Critics: On the Reception of the Best-Seller ** Prolegomena to a History of Literary Criticism ** Critical Theory, Public Sphere, and Culture: Jürgen Habermas and his Critics.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine unread condition white boards, blue spine and gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes List of Other Books by John Bentley Mays; Author Dedication; About This Book; Introduction: The Secret Hoard; Sources and Acknowledgments. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Also includes a fine condition vintage October 4, 1997 newspaper book review article from The Globe and Mail by Don Gillmor reviewing Power in the Blood, the article entitled South Rises Again In Family Meditation. "John Bentley Mays is one of the most powerful voices to speak of an out of the Deep South. Power in the Blood chronicles a journey of immense poignancy and resonance." - Anne Rivers Siddons. "A marvel of literary architectonics, Power in the Blood shimmers with passion and intelligence. Few books meditate on so much - history, place, the evolving self - with such elegance. But then, few writers possess John Bentley Mays' gift of probity bound up in sweet lyricism." - Charles Foran. "John Bentley Mays may have found his place in Canada but his blood is thick with Deep South truth. Power in the Blood is simply a remarkable book - brilliantly written and as accurate a portrayal of the South as anyone is ever likely to pen." - Terry Kay. "Both passionate and reflective, romantic and well researched. An odyssey of roots and change." - Lois Battle. "John Bentley Mays gives us a new view of the South, unbiased by the old view. It's as if he read everything written about the South and forgot it, or dismissed it all as cliche. Power in the Blood is a memoir of quivering beauty and truth." - Janice Daugharty. "An extraordinary narrative and honest exploration of the heart of the real American South, Power in the Blood is the account of one man's rediscovery of his Southern roots and heritage, forgotten during decades of self-exile from his homeland. John Bentley Mays left his ancestral region because, like many members of his generation, he believed a larger, more interesting life awaited him beyond the American South. The distance he put between himself and his Southern homeland widened until he eventually settled in Canada and into modern metropolitan life. Decades later, on a spring morning in 1990, the death of Mays' Aunt Vandalia summons him back to the South. As a result of his fateful return, Mays experiences an awakening of feelings and attitudes linked to his early life and family heritage, and he begins an exploration of his past. The secrets he uncovers in Vandalia's home motivate him to search for answers through the Virginia tidewater forests his ancestors cleared, the colonial plantations of his distant antebellum relatives, and the towns in South Carolina, Mississippi, and Louisiana where they lived through almost four hundred years of American history. Along the route of his journey he encounters echoes of Faulkner, remnants of civil war, and the spirits of colonial-era roads now laden with strip malls. And like many before him whose ties to their homelands have been broken, Mays struggles with the facts, stereotypes, and contradictions that exist today and color his native cultural landscape. Power in the Blood is about memory and recollection, and about the land that defines the blood and soul of a family over time. Above all, it is the poignant tale of an encounter with the American past as it emerges during a search for the truth of one family." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Hardcover. Condizione: very good condition. Condizione sovraccoperta: very good. First Edition. First Printing. xxii, 504, 920 pages. Footnotes. Illustrations (with 16 pages of plates). Appendix. Index. Compelling memoir of this former ambassador and his work under Presidents for fifty years. Paul Henry Nitze (January 16, 1907 October 19, 2004) was an American businessman and government official who served as United States Deputy Secretary of Defense, U.S. Secretary of the Navy, and Director of Policy Planning for the U.S. State Department. He is best known for being the principal author of NSC 68 and the co-founder of Team B. He helped shape U.S. Cold War defense policy over the course of numerous presidential administrations. preeminent figure in Washington and a key policymaker, Nitze here provides a memoir with a sweeping inside view of key post-1945 foreign-policy events--the Marshall Plan, Berlin blockade, H-bomb decision, Korean War, Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, SALT I and II, INF and SDI--but the writing is as factually dull as a briefing paper. Nitze relates his early background only briefly and concentrates on his long years of public service. Born in 1907 in Amherst, educated at Harvard, an investment banker in the 1930's, Nitze entered public service during WW II, working for most subsequent Presidents, including Bush, for whom he is a top arms negotiator. Major policy-making events of his career range from the 1940's US Strategic Bombing Survey to the arms accords of 1970's and 1980's. Nitze played key roles in the 1972 SALT I and 1979 SALT II negotiations, the results of which represented the first steps in exerting control over the nuclear arms race. A tough negotiator, deeply knowledgeable about the intricacies of arms, Nitze felt the Soviets gained the most from SALT I in that is recognized their existing lead in missiles but that, with the US also winning key concessions, the final result was worthwhile. SALT II, on the other hand, gave Nitze doubts, and he recommended changes to the US Senate, which never ratified it. Regarding the INF negotiations of the 1980's, Nitze here reveals details of his famous "walk in the woods" with his Soviet counterpart, Yuli Kvitsinskiy. In the five Summits of the Reagan years, Nitze proved to be a strong backer of SDI, and he does not believe its theoretical development and testing are in conflict with the first SALT agreement. Gorbachev, he feels, has great "tactical brilliance" in foreign policy but is much less effective domestically. An important, up-close account that's nearly spoiled by its wooden style.
