Reviews
More single-minded than either Kenneth Burke or Edmund Wilson, Leo Lowenthal has perfected the sociological interpretation of literature in this country, raising it from a mere exercise in stocktaking (spiced, in some cases, with diatribe) to a sound normative discipline. --Francis Golffing, The Kenyon Review
