Auerbach was one of the foremost literary critics of the 20th
century whose work has relevance within the fields of literary
criticism, historiography and postcolonial theory. The opening
chapter of this book explains how he understood the task of
interpretation and his role as an interpreter. The following
chapter outlines the important phases in his life with reference to
the writers and thinkers who influenced him in his thinking and
practice. The central chapters of the book focus on specific themes
in his work: the historical grounding of the 'figural' imagination;
the relation between the secular and the sacred; the emergence of
tragic realism; and the notion of 'inner history' as a defining
feature of early 20th-cenntury modernism. The final two chapters
focus on broader issues relating to the development of Auerbach's
understanding of the development of an educated readership within
Europe and of his concerns regarding the emergence of what he terms
'a world literature'.
