Abstract
Abstract:
For many years, before his death and after, I have been writing with Irving Howe looking over my shoulder: he is critical; I am trying to measure up. I think it all began at Brandeis University in Humanities 2 (Shakespeare to Dostoevsky), when I wrote a paper on The Tempest and Irving had "a few suggestions." Now I have to write something to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth, and I can hear him warning me: don't be sentimental; don't make things up; don't exaggerate; don't use too many words.
