The liberal imagination : essays on literature and society by
Lionel Trilling(
Book
)
136 editions published between 1940 and 2008 in 3 languages and held by 3,146 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Trilling's essays examine the promise, and limits, of liberalism, challenging the complacency of a naive liberal belief in rationality, progress, and the panaceas of economics and other social sciences, and asserting in their stead the irreducible complexity of human motivation and the tragic inevitability of tragedy. Only the imagination, Trilling argues, can give us access and insight into these realms and only the imagination can ground a reflective and considered, rather than programmatic and dogmatic, liberalism"--

Sincerity and authenticity by
Lionel Trilling(
Book
)
90 editions published between 1971 and 2009 in 3 languages and held by 2,744 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Over the past four hundred years the arduous enterprise of sincerity, of being true to one's self, has come to occupy a place of supreme importance in the moral life. Now that place is being usurped by the darker and still more strenuous ideal of authenticity. Here the author is concerned with the process of cultural mutation, and sugggests, in instances ranging from Diderot to Jane Austen, from Hegel to Sartre, from Robespierre to R.D. Laing, the contradictions and ironies to which the ideals of sincerity and authenticity give rise -- most especially in contemporary life

The portable Matthew Arnold by
Matthew Arnold(
Book
)
24 editions published between 1949 and 1980 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,299 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Over and above his luminous talents Arnold remains very much alive as an influence; he is the great transmitter of the humanist tradition. His was a profound and active humanism, rooted in his love for society and his idea of social wholeness. His writings shine with intelligence, amenity, and tolerance. As a poet he speaks to us more intimately than most of the other poets of his age. As a critic he speaks as a man to men. In this volume are the finest examples of Arnold's ranging thought and work. In poetry, there are the beloved familiars such as "Dover Beach" and "The Scholar Gipsy", all of "Empedocles on Etna", "Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse", and the magnificent concluding section of "Sohrab and Rustum". There are fourteen of the most illuminating essays, and a collection of his letters. -- From publisher's description

The middle of the journey by
Lionel Trilling(
Book
)
94 editions published between 1947 and 2012 in 3 languages and held by 1,198 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
" ... Both a psychological and ideological novel, a fascinating chess game where characters, each uniquely human and yet each representative of an intellectual position, move in an intricate pattern around the central figure, John Laskell. After a nearly fatal illness, Laskell finds that he must rediscover himself and his convictions in a world which terrifies him, where old relationships and allegiances are no longer securely defined. During his convalescence in a Connecticut country town, he questions the basic assumptions of his life as they are reflected in his personal loyalties, particularly to the young couple whose false liberalism he once shared uncritically, and in his political stand, which is challenged by a friend who, once having been a Communist, has moved to a position of extreme reaction. He discovers in himself a heightened awareness of the unpredictability of love and the omnipresence of death."--Page 4 of cover

Selected letters of John Keats by
John Keats(
Book
)
6 editions published between 1951 and 1956 in English and held by 685 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"The letters of John Keats are, T.S. Eliot remarked, "what letters ought to be; the fine things come in unexpectedly, neither introduced nor shown out, but between trifle and trifle." This new edition, which features four rediscovered letters, three of which are being published here for the first time, affords readers the pleasure of the poet's "trifles" as well as the surprise of his most famous ideas emerging unpredictably." "Unlike other editions, this selection includes letters to Keats and among his friends, lending greater perspective to an epistolary portrait of the poet. It also offers a revealing look at his "posthumous existence," the period of Keats's illness in Italy, painstakingly recorded in a series of moving letters by Keat's deathbed companion, Joseph Severn. Other letters by Dr. James Clark, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Richard Woodhouse - omitted from other selections of Keats's letters - offer valuable additional testimony concerning Keats the man."--Jacket
