Book Synopsis
Argues that the humanities - the academic disciplines that study the potential of the human - represent a 'dream of America.' This title explores a number of linked problems: the role, at once inspiring and disturbing, played by modern philology in the discipline's formation; and, the reasons behind the humanities' perpetual state of crisis.
