Description
In The Implications of Literary Criticism Harry Levin sees literature as
both the cause of social effects and the effect of social causes and proposes a
complex literary history. Literature represents the part as the whole, involves
selection and order, and can suggest additions to nature. Art refracts more
than reflects life. To comprehend the angles of refraction, Levin recommends
a comparative study of techniques as a complement to an awareness of social
backgrounds.
The movement of the body of the book is in four parts, from "Theory and
Criticism" through "Perspectives" and "Thematics" to "Authors, Artists,
Texts." The Appendix, "Reviewing: More Implications on Explanation,"
includes key reviews and review essays. The first part opens by raising the
question of the crisis in interpretation. The second part continues this exploration
of the nature of art, literature and interpretation. In the third part,
which involves thematics, Levin reminds the reader of the turn from the back-ground
of literature - biography, history and sociology - to the text. The fourth
part extends from medieval representations though Renaissance poetics and
Victorian novels to twentieth century fiction and film.
