Product Details
- The Liberal Imagination is one of the most admired and influential works of criticism of the last century, a work that is not only a masterpiece of literary criticism but an important statement about politics and society. Published in 1950, one of the chillier moments of the Cold War, Trilling’s essays examine the promise —and limits—of liberalism, challenging the complacency of a naïve liberal belief in rationality, progress, and the panaceas of economics and other social sciences, and asserting in their stead the irreducible complexity of human motivation and the tragic inevitability of tragedy. Only the imagination, Trilling argues, can give us access and insight into these realms and only the imagination can ground a reflective and considered, rather than programmatic and dogmatic, liberalism. Writing with acute intelligence about classics like Huckleberry Finn and the novels of Henry James and F. Scott Fitzgerald, but also on such varied matters as the Kinsey Report and money in the American imagination, Trilling presents a model of the critic as both part of and apart from his society, a defender of the reflective life that, in our ever more rationalized world, seems ever more necessary—and ever more remote.

Politics Editorial Review
The Liberal Imagination by Lionel Trilling is a classic literary criticism work published in 1950, defending imaginative or romantic literature against the then enthusiasm for so-called realism. Trilling argues for the active use of imagination in literature to engage the reader's empathy outside the bounds of their day to day life. In addition to the incisive commentary on American authors like Henry James, Mark Twain and F. Scott Fitzgerald, Trilling also presents his views on subjects like Huckleberry Finn and The Kinsey Report. Trilling's commentary is as relevant as a current issue of The New York Review of Books and is a must-read for devotees of literary criticism. The book is Considered as relevant today as when it was initially published.
