The Social Criticism Of Literature (1916)

by Gertrude Buck

Book Overview

""The Social Criticism Of Literature"" is a book written by Gertrude Buck and published in 1916. The book explores the relationship between literature and society, arguing that literature has the power to critique and shape social norms and values. Buck examines the works of a variety of authors, including Charles Dickens, George Eliot, and Thomas Hardy, to illustrate how literature can reflect and challenge prevailing attitudes towards issues such as gender, class, and race. She also discusses the role of the writer in society and the ethical responsibilities that come with the power to shape public opinion. Through her analysis, Buck offers a compelling argument for the importance of literature in promoting social change and justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
