Description

In this work, Hugh Kenner applies his attention to the alchemy of speech turning into language, language becoming art, and art finally settling down as culture. A variety of literary topics are addressed in 43 lively and often humorous essays, from St Augustine, through Tom Wolfe, to Nabokov.
