Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the vital role of literary criticism in a society where cultural standards are in decline. The author delves into the evolution of literary criticism in the early 20th century, examining how writers like T.S. Eliot and I.A. Richards shifted the focus towards a more rigorous and text-focused approach. The book then examines the impact of the rise of Marxism on intellectual circles, and how the political climate of the 1930s influenced literary criticism. The author argues that the rise of political cliques and "mutual admiration societies" significantly hampered the development of genuine literary discourse. The author's main argument is that a truly effective literary criticism must not only analyze texts, but also serve as a corrective force against the decline of cultural standards in society, fostering a more discerning and intelligent readership. Through exploring these vital themes, this book provides an insightful and challenging perspective on the importance of literary criticism in shaping a society's intellectual and cultural landscape. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Five original pen & ink cartoon drawings, sized from 13.25 x 18.5 in. up to 14 x 19 in., executed on thick card stock, w/ one embossed "Glarco No. 1" at outer fore-edge, 1 w/ "Strathmore" blind stamp at upper corner, all camera-ready for printer, still retaining some pencil annotations & ruling at outer fore-edges of image, four of the five signed, at lower fore-edge, one twice both with signature and the artist's iconic beaver in checkered pants (minor dustsoiling, light toning to fore-edges of a couple), still NF exemplars. These five exceptional original political cartoon drawings reflect not only the impact of the automobile and importance of automobile travel in the World War II-era Pacific Northwest, but also offer an intriguing quick snapshot of many issues we still confront as a society today. The first shows a uniformed policeman setting on a bedstead with looming anthropomorphic license plate trying to convince a resistant driver hiding under his covers to renew his license plates. License plates at the time were issued annually, with necessary fees to pay for road maintenance, policing, and also ensured that automobiles were drivable with many municipalities requiring safety inspections. The next two both address the public safety issues of traffic accidents, and the toll on pedestrians, against the backdrop that at the time few municipalities or states actually required driver's training for licenses, and in the late 1930's and 1940's accidents fluctuated from 75 to 125 fatalities per 100,000 registered vehicles (as opposed to less than 20 in the 2000's). One shows driving tips, and encouraging safer speeds, while the other graphically includes a skeletal skull as a front grille at night hurtling towards a pedestrian in the rain. The fourth cartoon announces "Oregon's tourist business will be lifted toward the $ 50,000,000 mark" and trees and fish all welcoming automobile travelers speeding towards the "Great Oregon Outdoors." By the early 1940's tourism driven by automobiles was the third largest business in the state, and would further expand following World War II, and later construction of the Interstate Highway system. The final cartoon touts the move to build the Sullivan Gulch Expressway which would later become the Banfield Freeway (named after T. harry Banfield), and I-84, with development around the Lloyd Center, and other apartment housing. The site was one of the largest "Hooverville" shantytown during the Great Depression, housing at one time over 300 living in 130+ shanties, and only really finally closed during World War II. Fisher (1890-1962) attended college in Eastern Washington, later studied art at the Portland Art Museum, and by 1919 had begun working as cartoonist with The Oregon Journal Newspaper where he would remain until retiring in 1956 publishing over 9,300 editorial cartoons. His trademark was an impish beaver wearing one-suspender checkered trousers, signed about two-thirds of his drawings, with none usually dated, but often dating with matter incidental to the events of the week. His topics ranged from the New Deal to Truman, Eisenhower, World War II, War Atrocities, local events, and more. The University of Washington and University of Oregon both have portions of original Fisher political cartoons and caricatures.
