The Scholar-Critic - An Introduction to Literary Research

First Published in 1972, The Scholar-Critic argues that it''s a mistake to consider literary criticism and literary scholarship as each other''s antitheses. The two approaches to literature are, except at the most superficial level, complementary, both indispensable, both equally honourable aspects of a single discipline. The book deals with themes like the sense of fact; works of reference; the literary object; style and interpretation; textual criticism and literary history; and presentation. This is an interesting read for scholars and researchers of English literature.
