TY - BOOK AU - Kermode,Frank TI - Pleasing myself SN - 0713995181 (hardcover) PY - 2001/// CY - [S.l.] PB - Allen Lane N2 - Frank Kermode has a strong claim to be Britain's most distinguished literary critic. Over the course of a long career, he has written on a enormous variety of English literature, most recently William Shakespeare's plays. This collection should be of keen interest to lovers of that literature, and also to those interested in post-war British intellectual life. For as much as these essays exemplify the tension, the patience and the insight of a great critic, in their defense of proportion and clarity they are also works of ethical importance UR - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0713995181/chopaconline-20 ER -
