Criticism+social Change

"Criticism and Social Change speaks with special timeliness to the role of the political intellectual (here embodied in Kenneth Burke). Lentricchia's provocative analysis demands serious reflection by American radicals."-Frederic Jameson "A profound meditation on relations obtaining among writing, political consciousness, and criticism-this last taken in its most general sense. It is written with passion and grace; it is shot through with learning, intimate knowledge of the critical tradition, and a deep (though by no means uncritical) understanding of the work (as well as social significance) of Kenneth Burke."-Hayden WhiteLentricchia, Frank is the author of 'Criticism+social Change' with ISBN 9780226471990 and ISBN 0226471993.
