Creative Lives and Works: Frank Kermode, George Steiner, Gillian
Beer and Christopher Ricks is a collection of interviews conducted
by one of England's leading social anthropologists and historians,
Professor Alan Macfarlane. Filmed over a period of 40 years, the
four conversations in this volume, are part of a larger set of
interviews that cut across various disciplines, from the social
sciences, the sciences and to even the performing and visual arts.
The current volume on four of England's foremost literary critics
is the first in the series of several such books. Sir Frank
Kermode, in James S. Shapiro's (Professor of English and
Comparative Literature at Columbia University who specializes in
Shakespeare and the Early Modern period) words is, 'the best living
reader of Shakespeare anywhere, hands down', George Steiner, in an
article in The Guardian is described as a 'polyglot and polymath',
Gillian Beer is quoted in The Guardian as saying, 'I am historical
remnant of free education: I was carried through by the state', and
W.H. Auden, one of the greatest 20th century poets, described Sir
Christopher Ricks as 'exactly the kind of critic every poet dreams
of finding'. Immensely riveting as conversations, this collection
takes one into the exciting world of literary criticism. The book
will be of enormous value to those interested in Literature,
History and Culture Studies. Please note: This title is
co-published with Social Science Press, New Delhi. Taylor &
Francis does not sell or distribute the Hardback in India,
Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
