History & criticism
Dominick LaCapra (Author)
"Reaffirming the importance of the texts and artifacts of high culture to the historian, LaCapra singles out the novel for special attention. He treats as well such topics as the role of rhetoric in history, the study of popular and mass culture, and the writing of the history of criticism. In addition, he examines the significance of the psychoanalytic concept of "transference" for the dialogue between the historian and the past. Throughout he seeks to enlarge the scope of critical interpretation in ways that touch upon the concerns of all students of culture."--Back cover
