Fact and Symbol - Essays in the Sociology of Art and Literature (Paperback, Rev Ed)

Graa's work critically examines the continual rebirth of cultural romances on the part of literary intellectuals. His disdain for contrived rejections of modernity and for grand destructive gestures is combined with his intense appreciation of the romantic sensibility. "Fact and Symbol" embodies Graa's views of the enterprise of cultural sociology in which both words are given equal play.
