Hoy shows that it is possible to bring the French, German, and Anglo-American critical traditions into meaningful relationship without blurring the distinctions that separate them. ... For an understanding of Gadamers relevance to current criticism, his book is indispensable, many will find it useful as a synoptic account of the critical theories that have become prominent." --Wallace Martin, Comparative Literature "An extremely useful compendium of the nature and status of contemporary disputes about the contribution of hermeneutic philosophy--both regarding te interpretation of literary texts and more generally regarding epistemological puzzles linking the Anglo-American analytic tradition with current Continental work. There has been a while raft of books of this genre, but Hoy's nine-page introduction is certainly one of the clearest and most succinct reviews of the central issues." --Joseph Margolis, Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism
