BOOK INFO: Essays read before the meeting of the Literature and Society Group, Modern Language Association of America, Boston, Massachusetts, December, 1940: I. Freud and Marx in Contemporary Literature by Harry Slochower, Brooklyn College; II. Literary Form by Edwin Berry Burgum, New York University; III. Maxwell Anderson by Vincent Wall, Wayne University. 'The three essays in this brochure are motivated by an obligation to bring the rich results of American scholarship to the interpretation of literary form in the novel and drama. Innovations and solecisms of impressionistic criticism have tended, during the last two decades, to cause a rift between informed judgment and dilettante opinion. American literary scholars, dismissed as incapable critics by speculative adventurers, formed a discussion Group under the auspices of the Modern Language Association in 1939 to explore the relations between Literature and Society and to locate the patterns between the development of literature and the shaping effects of social pressures. Two of the essays sketch the outlines of critical perspective, while the third essay makes a particular application of this perspective. The essays are here reprinted and distributed to those interested in this new direction of American criticism. (~William S. Knickerbocker, Secretary of Group VI, Editor, Sewanee Review). Reprinted from the July-September 1941 issue of The Sewanee Review.
