There are histories and grammars of outward speech: what of the far greater mass of verbal activity which is directed inward?...in what ways are the classical and humanistic ideals and values which have animated Western literature and habits of thought now being affected by the decline of privacy, the changing weight of emphasis between the inner and the outer, the voiced and the silent, the public and the private sectors of personality and speech? Questions such as these make [this book] essential reading for the layman as well as for the specialist. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A distinguished collection of essays on language, literature, and philosophy from acclaimed scholar and critic George Steiner On Difficulty is as provocative and relevant today as when its essays were first published. Ranging from critical topics such as the understanding of language to the meaning of meaning, inward speech to the relationship between erotic sensibility and linguistic convention, these eight essays posit myriad topics for exploration and dialogue. George Steiner deals with considerations that are simultaneously literary and philosophical, exploring themes of linguistic privacy and the changing technical, physiological, and social statuses of the act of reading.
