The evocative and sinuous essays collected here are the products of this inquiry. In his search for durable principles, Krupnick follows Lionel Trilling, Cynthia Ozick, Geoffrey Hartman, Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, and others into the elemental matters of life and death, sex and gender, power and vulnerability. The editors-Krupnick's wife, Jean K. Carney, and literary critic Mark Shechner-have also included earlier essays and introductions that link Krupnick's work with the "deep places" of his own imagination. 410 0$aACLS Humanities E-Book. 606 $aAmerican literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aJews$zUnited States$xIntellectual life 606 $aJudaism and literature$zUnited States 606 $aJudaism in literature 606 $aJews in literature 606 $aImagination 615 0$aAmerican literature$xJewish authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aJews$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aJudaism and literature 615 0$aJudaism in literature. 615 0$aJews in literature. 615 0$aImagination. 676 $a810.9/8924 700 $aKrupnick$b Mark$f1939-$0957283 701 $aCarney$b Jean K$0957284 701 $aShechner$b Mark$0957285 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966836903321 996 $aJewish writing and the deep places of the imagination$92168435 997 $aUNINA
