Lionel Trilling: Negative Capability and the Wisdom of Avoidance

by Robert Boyers, Sara Boyers

"The considerable value of Boyers's monograph is its judiciousness and lucidity...there is no discussing Trilling without some personalizing of recent history, and Boyers handles this with a combination of affectionate argument and distanced acuity are in any writing, much less literary criticism."
