Intelligence is a Moral Duty (famous Literature Forum)
About This Novel
"Intelligence is a Moral Duty (Famous Literary Forum)" is the epitome of the ideas of New York intellectuals in the 1950s. Trilling adopted a broader approach - the intersection of literature and culture - to deal with the mainstream of new criticism at the time. Through these extraordinary articles, Trilling shows us an extraordinary image of a critic: one who is philosophically motivated but respectful of texts, sensitive to history but not bound by it, influenced by art but not worshiping it, reverent to ideas but skeptical of theories. Most of the articles in the book have been widely cited as classics and have important influence.
