Steiner criticises criticism in the secondary form, that is the derivative essay on a work of art, and states that the best criticism of any art form employs the same form as that which is commented upon. what the writer or artist mimics or preserves is equally as important as what is omitted or changed(he cites the comparison between Middlemarch and a Portrait of a Lady or Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina).<BR/><BR/>Steiner's comments also reminded me of our conversation about the validity of being within the canon.<BR/> <BR/>The hardest way to talk about it is to do it... it's kindof like the difference between showing and telling. your professor is so spot on. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I will totally keep you in my prayers. <BR/><BR/>You're rad, Hannah. :)melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16804029199398107018noreply@blogger.com
