The authors of this study deplore the present gulf that lies
between the creative writer and the scholar. In five stimulating
essays on letters, language, literary history, criticism, and
imaginative writing, they challenge our prevailing pedantries and
offer a program for revitalizing literary scholarship in the
universities. Authoritative and brilliantly written, this book
anticipates a fuller place for humane learning in American life.

Foerster has here formulated his ideas concerning the relation of
humanism to graduate study and scholarship. In a day when all
educational ideals and methods are up for reexamination and
appraisal, this book is particularly timely, and no one interested
in such questions can afford to be ignorant of this carefully
considered statement by one of the leading thinkers of his day.

This brief discussion of higher education is based on the argument
that the spirit of the humanities should dominate the entire
program of a public university. The central position of the
humanities cannot be recognized in present-day universities that
have a naturalistic and utilitarian orientation. Only when this has
been changed will a fundamental improvement in higher education be
possible.
