Shapiro, Charles | July 21, 1956 issue

add to cart close window

The article focuses on the book "In Search of Heresy," by John W. Aldridge. "In Search of Heresy" is subtitled American literature in an Age of conformity and it is a pity that Aldridge did not spend more space and energy on literature, for Aldridge proves to be a perceptive and stimulating critic. Aldridge shows a concern and understanding for the dramatic meaning of fiction. In a chapter on "The Heresy of Literary Manners," Aldridge gives a discerning discussion of the role of manners in the novel.
