Opis

Eric Griffiths' lectures were attended by hundreds, yet the lectures were never turned into books. Published here for the first time, the ten lectures range across literary periods and European languages to address, among many other things, practical criticism, comedy, and tragedy.

Recenzje

Mr Griffiths attracts superlatives. The Guardian once declared him the "cleverest man in England". Donald Davie, a poet and critic, called him the "rudest man in the kingdom". And for many of the pupils he taught over 30 years at Trinity College, Cambridge, he was the greatest teacher they ever had.
