Dear List,
The latest issue of Essays in Criticism is available online, tho it may
be that you can access it that way only if you or your employer (school)
subscribes. I'm not sure. The article that caught my eye was:
Book Review.
Eliot's Dark Angel: Intersections of Life and Art Ronald Schuchard
Jennifer Formichelli, pp. 371-377.
http://www3.oup.co.uk/escrit/hdb/Volume_51/Issue_03/510371.sgm.abs.html
In it Jennifer quotes TSE on Canon Cruikshank, "whose book _Philip Massinger_
'is a work of scholarship; and the advantage of good scholarship
is that it
presents us with evidence which is an invitation to the critical
faculty of the
reader: it bestows a method, rather than a judgement....Mr.
Cruikshank at
least presents us with facts which are capable of generalization.
This is a
service of value; and it is therefore wholly a compliment to the
author to
say that his appendices are as valuable as the essay itself.
This interesting snippet, and I would say the whole review, relate to our
brief discussion of scholarship and its role(s) of a few weeks back.
I enjoyed the review, Jennifer, and found the conclusion well met. However,
I'll leave it at that for now so as not to prejudice other readers.
Cheers to all,
Ken Armstrong
