19) The Pleasures of Reading: In an Ideological Age
Alter, Robert

Riverside, New Jersey, U.S.A.: Simon & Schuster, 1989. Usual library markings, inlcuding protective, laminated dust jacket. Spine is tight; pgs are unmarked. From Library Journal: "Students read more of Lacan, Eagleton, Foucault, and Derrida, Alter protests, than they do of George Eliot or Stendhal. But despite his adversarial stance toward "fashionable absurdities," Alter wastes little time in polemics. Instead, he explains and applies those resources ready at hand to analyze a literary work. And therein lies the pleasure of reading his readings. No crabbed and repellent hieroglyphs of contemporary criticism here. Instead, there are fresh explanations of familiar terms (character, structure, allusion, perspective) and analyses that plunge boldly and incisively to the heart of the literary matter. Alter has read eveything, and he illumines each text (dozens of them, fiction and poetry--from the Bible to Lolita ) to the advantage and delight of all readers who still believe in the uniqueness and stability of great literature.".
