Since his death in 1993 at age 72, Howe's work and his personal example of commitment to high principle, both literary and political, have had a vigorous afterlife. This posthumous and capacious collection includes twenty-six essays that originally appeared in such publications as the\u003ci\u003e New York \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eReview of Books\u003c\/i\u003e, the\u003ci\u003e New Republic\u003c\/i\u003e, and the \u003ci\u003eNation\u003c\/i\u003e. Taken together, they reveal the depth and breadth of Howe's enthusiasms and range over politics, literature, Judaism, and the tumults of American society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Voice Still Heard\u003c\/i\u003e is essential to the understanding of the passionate and skeptical spirit of this lucid writer. The book forms a bridge between the two parallel enterprises of culture and politics. It shows how politics justifies itself by culture, and how the latter prompts the former. Howe's voice is ever sharp, relentless, often scathingly funny, revealing Howe as that rarest of critics--a real reader and writer, one whose clarity of style is a result of his disciplined and candid mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irving Howe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300203667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300203660\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.43w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/18\/2015 pg. 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/25\/2015 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/05\/2015 pg. 42","brand":"Irving Howe","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44055881384191,"sku":"9780300203660","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d17c5288-c191-4a65-8e6d-e272659a6b5d.jpg?v=1685038323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/voice-still-heard-irving-howe-9780300203660","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
