Gathered here are all of literary critic W. M. Spackman's published essays and reviews, including his 1967 book On the Decay of Humanism. These essays argue that a work of literature should be evaluated on its artistry and craftsmanship, not on its content or ideas. An important book for anyone who cares deeply about literary culture.
