Literaturkritik und Bildungspolitik

In German. An exhaustive study of the group of literary critics and philosophers often called the Chicago School. Although the title singles out R. S. Crane, the book in fact treats the careers and work of all the the Chicago Critics of the "first generation," including Richard McKeon, Elder Olson, Clarence Faust, Norman Maclean, Bernard Weinberg and William Keast, as well as Mortimer Adler. Includes lists of publications for each of the critics, an extensive bibliography. Meticulous work with capable and well-founded accounts of the sometimes abstruse material.
