In An Iron Time: Essays

0/5 ( ratings)

In this wide-ranging volume, R.V. Cassill has put together a collection of 15 of his own essays which he refers to as " a
personal, critical appraisal of the crisis of our times as it is reflected, primarily, in literature." As a writer and critic he is
concerned about the prevailing American view of art that equates excellence and quality with price and best-sellerdom.
His primary concern is with literature: the idolatry of “great books" that confuses literature as art with literature
as print.

"What counts is not the proximity of good books but the good and bad usages of books, with the engagement of minds on
the terrain of the book."
