Double Agent: The Critic and Society

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dickstein, Morris, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Double Agent is a watershed in the recent revival of interest in the role of the public critic and intellectual who writes about culture, politics, and the arts for an intelligent general audience. Offering acute portraits of critics both famous and neglected, Dickstein traces the evolution of cultural criticism over the last century from Matthew Arnold to New Historicism. He examines the development of practical criticism, the rise and fall of literary journalism, and the growth of American Studies, and rereads the work of critics like Arnold, Walter Pater, I.A. Richards, Roland Barthes, Edmund Wilson, R.P. Blackmur, Lionel Trilling, Alfred Kazin, and George Orwell. In essays and books that are themselves works of literature, these writers made criticism central to the public sphere, balancing social and literary values, politic commitment and aesthetic judgment. Though marginalized or ignored by academic histories of criticism, their example has proved immensely valuable for younger critics eager to find a personal voice and reach a wider public. Dickstein concludes with a lively and provocative dialogue that weighs the claims of recent literary theory and the importance of renewing public culture.

They also contextualize the growth of television as a medium of entertainment in this era of globalization and discuss the nature and importance of media education given recent developments. This book also examines contemporary themes relating to television and suggests an agenda for future debates and will be invaluable for students and scholars of mass media, communication, media education, and journalism. Broadcasters and journalists will also be interested in this volume as well as those concerned with the growth of television and its impact on our lives.
