‎Candor and Perversion Literature Education and the Arts‎

‎New York U. S. A.: W. W. Norton & Company. New in Fine dust jacket 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. Superclean rem; not marked-in or discard. Mails from NYC usually within 12 hours. ; 9.6 x 6.7 x 1.4 inches; 416 pages; nOnline Rev: In Candor Roger Shattuck carries on 2 conversations. The more strident of the 2 deceptively titled "Intellectual Craftsmanship " takes up the 1st section of this collection of essays & reviews. Here Shattuck engages in verbal fisticuffs w/ those who would mire the study of literature in the byzantine politics of identity & the arcane language of theory. Insisting that he's not a conservative he instead gives himself the coy title of "conservationist. " "Some of us " he writes "have come to believe that it is possible even necessary to be liberal in political matters & conservationist in cultural matters. " Shattuck lays bare the perceived dangers besetting the traditional literary scholar & insists on the primacy of canonical texts in our universities: "In order to have a common frame of ref within which to reason together I would argue that there are books everyone should read. " Lest anyone think him extreme he follows up quickly: "And we should never stop discussing which ones those are. " Ironically Shattuck does more to support his position in the 2nd half which is devoted to the practice of criticism. In 2 dozen book reviews & essays he engages in a passionate learned & imaginative conversation with the greats of Western civilization. This is a scholarship of compulsion: Shattuck returns again & again to key touchstones such as Virginia Woolf's statement that "on or about Dec 1910 human character changed. " His enthusiasms spawn new forms of criticism such as his delightful fairy tale "The Story of Hans/Jean/Kaspar Arp " which tells of a child "born in Strasbourg with bright eyes nice big ears & a wonderful egg-shaped head. All his life he liked egg-shaped things--clouds pebbles jars fruits. " Shattuck here is so worked up over Arp's art that he struggles to find a new critical shape to contain his joyful interest. Such lively writing does more to make his case for studying the so-called dead white males than all his polemics. -Claire DederernKirkus Reviews nDiverse essays on literature & the arts from an eminent critic who writes for the educated public rather than the academic specialist. Shattuck prof emeritus of lit at Boston Univ is probably best-known for his Natl Book Award�winning biography of Marcel Proust & his various books on French modernism but his interests have always been wide-ranging. The most recent of his 12 books Forbidden Knowledge: From Prometheus to Pornography 1996 explored its title theme from earliest myth to the contemporary critical preoccupation with transgression. The new book picks up 39 essays�book reviews public lectures columns that he wrote for the journal Salmagundi�that have appeared elsewhere over the past two decades. Interestingly the hodgepodge format doesn't vitiate the pleasure & insight that his book offers. In a way it increases that pleasure because it encourages browsing & dipping. Shattuck's prose is urbane but never pretentious "in the wake of the great literary journalists" he admires: Hazlitt Baudelaire & Edmund Wilson. Shattuck is a resolutely public critic & early essays in the collection polemicize against the obscurantism & what he sees also as the moral corruption of contemporary academic criticism. Michel Foucault & his followers in particular come in for a sound drubbing. But the book's greater part is taken up with book reviews a genre that Shattuck masters with great flair. Reviews are the chief venue for literary journalism in our era & Shattuck makes the most of it. Even though the books under review vary widely�from Mallarm� to Mailer from W. S. Merwin to Leopold Senghor�Shattuck's own vision emerges clearly. Throughout he emphasizes the moral dimension of criticism the link between art & lived human experience & the ethical imperative of what he calls "intellectual craftsmanship. " Even if his polemics are a bit one-sided & sanctimonious the overall effect of his writing about art & literature is engaging. . W. W. Norton & Company hardcover‎
