Abstract:
"For more than three decades Adrienne Rich's essays have been praised for their lucidity, courage, and range of concerns. In A Human Eye: Essays on Art in Society, Rich examines a diverse selection of writings and their place in past and present social disorders and transformations. Beyond literary theories, she searches from many angles how the arts of language have acted on and been shaped by their creators' worlds."--Inside cover.
