Lewis, F.O. Matthiessen, and Northrop Frye. William Calin first considers the achievements of each critic, examining his methodology and basic presuppositions as well as the critiques marshalled against him. Calin explores their relation to history, to canon-formation, and to our current theoretical debates. He then goes on to show how all eight form a current in the history of criticism related to both humanism and modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderscoring the international, cosmopolitian aspects of literary scholarship in the twentieth century, \u003cem\u003eThe Twentieth-Century Humanist Critics\u003c\/em\u003e brings together humanist critical traditions from Europe, the United Kingdom, and North America and reveals the surprising extent to which, in various languages and academic systems, critics were posing similar questions and offering a gamut of similar responses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Calin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802092837\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802092830\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.35h x 6.36w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2008 pg. 1754","brand":"William Calin","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065135345919,"sku":"9780802092830","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1cbd7837-330b-402c-b16d-a88ca00f8192.jpg?v=1768673227","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/twentieth-century-humanist-critics-william-calin-9780802092830","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
