Instead of a Critic: Essays Written and Unwritten
No Customer Reviews
Instead of a Critic brings together pieces written over twenty years or so in search of whatever links them. The topics range from Anglo-German cultural relations and the refugee flight from Nazi Europe to myth, pictorial art and the 'Two Cultures' question. It touches on performance, whether in cinema, dance, 'straight' theatre or the American Musical. Above all, it expresses an enthusiasm for literature and what literature can do.
