Synopsis

George Steiner's accomplishments in criticism, in theory of literature, and in the history of ideas have made him a central figure on the contemporary intellectual scene. He is as widely known for his frequent contributions to the "New Yorker" and "TLS" as he is for his many books. In "Reading George Steiner", Nathan Scott and Ronald Sharp bring together a group of eminent American and European critics to offer an assessment of Steiner's work. Approaching Steiner's writings in the wide range of fields that have engaged his attention over the past 35 years, the authors discuss topics from literary theory and criticism to language and culture, from religion and philosophy to Jewishness and the Holocaust. In the book's concluding chapter, Steiner himself offers a "Responsion" to the essays.
