Skeptical Engagements

Frederick C. Crews

4.9/5 (13618 ratings)

Description:Eleven years ago, in Out of My System, the noted critic Frederick Crews served notice that his Freudian sympathies were being eroded. In his new book, Crews shows where that reappraisal took him and why he has come to regard himself as an opponent of all "self-validating" doctrines. The essays collected here are linked by a theme Crews came to understand through trial and error: "The fear of facing the world, including its works of literature, without an intellectual narcotic at hand." "Crews, himself a former Freudian...takes on a host of academic critics and theorists, and he does so with vigor and in bitingly effective, lucid prose."--Booklist "The author is provocative about writers from Philip Roth to Erik Erikson, and in the process gives us a clear picture of intellectual life, warts and all."--Kirkus ReviewsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
