Description
Eric Griffiths' If Not Critical brings together ten lectures that showcase his original and thought-provoking contributions to literary criticism and literary history. Delivered over several decades, these lectures reflect Dr Griffiths' extensive reading in multiple languages and genres. Crammed into his writing are insights into the blind spots of other critics, as well as the limitations of criticism itself. Dr Griffiths argues that a broader range of examples is essential for making progress in conceptualisation, and that a keener attention to variety is needed to improve thinking. This collection offers a representative selection of his work, featuring the works of notable authors such as Shakespeare, Dante, Kafka, Beckett, Racine, Rabelais, T.S. Eliot, and Jonathan Swift. These lectures demonstrate Dr Griffiths' commitment to nuanced and informed literary analysis, making this collection an invaluable resource for scholars and literature enthusiasts alike.
