For them, literature both past and present, as well as conventional discussions of literary issues, had lost its meaning. In The Institution of Criticism, Peter Uwe Hohendahl explores the implications of this crisis from a Marxist perspective and attempts to define the tasks and responsibilities of criticism in advanced capitalist societies. Hohendahl takes a close look at the social history of literary criticism in Germany since the eighteenth century. Drawing on the tradition of the Frankfurt School and on Jürgen Habermas's concept of the public sphere, Hohendahl sheds light on some of the important political and social forces that shape literature and culture. The Institution of Criticism is made up of seven essays originally published in German and a long theoretical introduction written by the author with English-language readers in mind. This book conveys the rich possibilities of the German perspective for those who employ American and French critical techniques and for students of contemporary critical theory. 606 $aCriticism 608 $aAnthologies$2lcgft 615 0$aCriticism. 676 $a801 676 $a801 686 $aEC 1700$qBVB$2rvk 700 $aHohendahl$b Peter Uwe.$0456910 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910136644503321 996 $aInstitution of criticism$91344388 997 $aUNINA
