31:4 Book Reviews representation—representation not as photographic realism but as illuminating distortion. I leave readers of The Humanistic Heritage to decide whether Morgan or the book's other reviewers—virtually unanimous in their enthusiasm—are conect. I conclude with Nina Baym's comment in JEGP: Schwarz is warmly appreciative of the critics he studies. . . . His summaries are excellent; considering their brevity . . . they are admirably sensitive to shading and detail. The style is plain and jargon-free. The Humanistic Heritage will be useful as review or as introduction for students ranging from advanced undergraduates to specialists in literary criticism. General readers might enjoy it as well.
