Item description from seller

Hardcover, x + 214 pages, NOT ex-library. Missing the front blank endpaper and the half-title page. Book is clean and bright throughout with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. In a bright untorn dust jacket. -- This study provides a detailed intellectual history of the critical rivalry between T.S. Eliot and John Middleton Murry during the crucial decade of the 1920s. The author argues that their conflict was not mere personal animosity but a fundamental battle for the soul of English literary criticism, fought out in the pages of their respective journals, Eliot's The Criterion and Murry's The Adelphi. The work contrasts Eliot's push for an impersonal, classical, and tradition-oriented criticism with Murry's championing of a romantic, intuitive criticism centered on the 'inner voice'. It demonstrates how this critical difference shaped the trajectory of modern literary theory and influenced the subsequent generation of critics, including F.R. Leavis. -- Contents: Introduction; 1 Reconstruction: Murry, Eliot, and the Athenaeum, 1919-1921 [Reconstruction and 'Improperganda'; Literature and the War; The Athenaeum: 'Inward Acts and Ancestral Attitudes'; Tradition and the Dissociated Sensibility; The Perfect Critic]; 2 The Criterion versus the Adelphi, 1922-1925 [Remy de Gourmont and the Problem of Style; After the Athenaeum; The Criterion and the Adelphi; Romanticism and Classicism; Murry's Romantic Historiography; Hulme and Classicism; Murry and a Romantic Tradition; Keats and Shakespeare]; 3 Orthodoxy and Modernism: The Claims of Religion, 1926-1928 [Murry, Moral Relativism, and Modernism; 'Life', Liberalism, and Organized Christianity; The Life of Jesus; The Classical Revival; Reason and Romanticism; Towards a Synthesis; Some Problems of Orthodoxy]; Conclusion: Imperfect Orthodoxy; Select Bibliography; Index -- A Critical Difference is a detailed study of perhaps the most intriguing and important literary-critical dialogue of the 1920s. Goldie places the critical writing of T.S. Eliot and John Middleton Murry firmly in the context of a contentious post-war literary culture and argues for the need to read their work as a series of interventions within that culture. The book traces the development of their criticism from early collaboration on the Athenaeum through to the rivalries between Eliot's Criterion and Murry's Adelphi. It explores the informing contexts of several of Eliot's better-known essays and sheds new light on his role as a polemicist and critical controversialist.
