Recenzii

“Denis Donoghue seems to me the most deeply learned and thoughtful of contemporary literary and philosophical critics.  Adam's Curse is one of his very finest books—a broad confrontation with matters of immense importance and, given the complexity of its argument, argued in a prose of a blessed, all-but-vanished lucidity.” —Reynolds Price

“Vintage Donoghue.  Rich in conception, deft in execution, astringent in analysis, lucid in exposition, ecumenical in its curiosity and engagingly contra suggestible.”—Francis Oakley

“Donoghue delivered these eight pieces as lectures in March and April 2000 and doesn’t claim they are comprehensive or ‘even consecutive’ on their subject. Instead of a systematic philosophical treatise, they are a series loosely woven around a title borrowed from Yeats and directed by a ‘governing prejudice’ attributed to Coleridge—that ‘a fall of some sort or other ... is the fundamental postulate of the moral history of man.’  Donoghue sees himself going against the grain, reflecting on those two vagabonds, religion and literature, in the none-too-easy works of Emmanuel Levinas, Wallace Stevens, Robert Bellah, Alasdair McIntyre, Czeslaw Milosz, Seamus Heaney, and Charles Baudelaire. His is an appropriate stance for a critic, though in the end its tone is as defensive as it is critical.  He richly explores an impressive range of writings as he defends the transcendence of analogy as opposed to the immanence of metaphor. Agreeing with him isn’t necessary to benefit from traveling with him through the literary landscape he surveys.” —Booklist
