  • "The esteemed English literary critic Frank Kermode discusses the whole notion of modern literary criticism in this program. Kermode attacks much of it as being purely concerned with theory and argues that it ignores much of what he considers to be fundamental, interpretation. Kermode traces his notions from those of Spinoza and raises essential questions of freedom and control over interpretation. He takes in modern thinking, attacking, for example, the uses to which Deconstruction has been put. Kermode also explains his idea of "canons" with fascinating examples, and argues that it is the constantly changing interpretation of each canon that keeps it alive. The program concludes with Kermode explaining his own roots, upbringing, and influences, particularly in the 1930s."
