Critics will always disagree, but, maintains Wayne Booth, their disagreement need not result in critical chaos.

Auden, Henry James, Oliver Goldsmith, and...

A Rhetoric of Irony
ISBN: 9780226065533 / Angielski / Miękka / 1975 / 310 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Perhaps no other critical label has been made to cover more ground than "irony," and in our time irony has come to have so many meanings that by itself it means almost nothing. In this work, Wayne C. Booth cuts through the resulting confusions by analyzing how we manage to share quite specific ironies and why we often fail when we try to do so. How does a reader or listener recognize the kind of statement which requires him to reject its "clear" and "obvious" meaning? And how does any reader know where to stop, once he has embarked on the hazardous and exhilarating path of rejecting "what the...

The Company We Keep
ISBN: 9780520062108 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 580 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Company We Keep, Wayne C. Booth argues for the relocation of ethics to the center of our engagement with literature. But the questions he asks are not confined to morality. Returning ethics to its root sense, Booth proposes that the ethical critic will be interested in any effect on the ethos, the total character or quality of tellers and listeners. Ethical criticism will risk talking about the quality of this particular encounter with this particular work. Yet it will give up the old hope for definitive judgments of "good" work and "bad." Rather it will be a...

Modern Dogma and the Rhetoric of Assent
ISBN: 9780226065724 / Angielski / Miękka / 1974 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When should I change my mind? What can I believe and what must I doubt? In this new "philosophy of good reasons" Wayne C. Booth exposes five dogmas of modernism that have too often inhibited efforts to answer these questions. Modern dogmas teach that "you cannot reason about values" and that "the job of thought is to doubt whatever can be doubted," and they leave those who accept them crippled in their efforts to think and talk together about whatever concerns them most. They have willed upon us a "befouled rhetorical climate" in which people are driven to two self-destructive extremes...
