About this book

Why Literature Matters: Permanence and the Politics of Reputation by Arbery, Glenn C. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781882926596.

Through an examination of the work of poets and novelists who have managed to garner honor -- including Shakespeare, Homer, and Emily Dickinson -- and those whose reputations are of more recent vintage and therefore more difficult to evaluate such as Tom Wolfe, Seamus Heaney, and Toni Morrison -- Glenn Arbery explores the title question with elegant prose and subtle criticism.
