About this book

History and Criticism gathers essays in which Dominick LaCapra presses the case for intellectual history. He is keen to restore the historian's attention to great literature and to the tools of literary criticism.

The essays are openly polemical, and the author accepts that they lean on a measure of exaggeration. Their target is what he sees as excesses in the techniques of the new social history.

Students and scholars of historiography, and readers interested in the argument between social history and cultural approaches, will find the book useful.
