商品簡介
In this critical analysis of a critic's analyses, Rhu (English and comparative literature, U. of South Carolina) finds the common themes in Cavell's manifold interests and defines his unifying style. Reviewing Cavell's readings of Shakespeare and of film, Rhu contends that Cavell's keen ear for the expressive power of ordinary language makes him both a first-rate literary artist and a compelling philosopher of the quotidian.
