Book Overview
In Ariel and the Police, Frank Lentricchia searches through the totalizing desires for power that have built and help to maintain tangible and intangible structures of confinement and purification within, and sometimes as, the house of modernism. And what he finds, in his lyrical effort to redeem the subject for history, is that someone lives there, slyly, sometimes even playfully defiant.

This book is the best literary criticism of any I have read. I enjoy being taught about something I am interested in, and Lentricchia is a great teacher. Not only can he teach, he can write in a way that is fantastically accessible to a person like me. He also can write such intellectual and academic criticism that it flat blows your head off, or rockets out so fast that neither I, nor even smart, old, Harold Bloom wouldn't get it. This book fits my bill. Enjoy.
