Denis Donoghue is University Professor and Henry James Chair of English and American Letters at New York University.
"Deserves a wide and admiring readership." Frank Kermode "Once again, Donoghue says with such graceful sanity what needs to be said." Bill Marx, Boston Globe "Donoghue, Ireland's gift to modern literary studies, opens his latest book of essays with a brief intellectual autobiography, followed by speculations about the nature of reading and practical criticism of works as various as Othello and Cormac McCarthy's Homeric spaghetti western, Blood Meridian." Michael Dirda, Washington Post Book World "Donoghue is a formidably gifted critic whose range of reference is truly impressive." Peter Brooks, New York Times Book Review "A passionate, eloquent, and...elegiac defense of civilised letters...[and] a selection of elegant essays in criticism...Deserves to be read, closely and patiently, by anyone concerned with the fate of letters." Ben Howard, Arts and Letters "Denis Donoghue writes with a grace and clarity that have become increasingly rare in today's literary discourse." Anthony Hecht
