		<description><![CDATA[Update: Though she would never have put it so indelicately, in this quote (from a letter, August 16, 1849 ), Charlotte Brönte kicks ass, with spirit and decision! I do not respect an inconsistent critic. He says, &#8216;if Jane Eyre be the production of a woman, she must be a woman unsexed.’ In that case [...]]]></description>

These are the first books by Potok I have ever read. I had never heard of Potok until a week or so ago. Then I read an article that mentioned Potok in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What is an intellectual? Johnson makes a clear distinction between writers, artists, men of letters on the one hand and intellectuals on the other. Of course, a person could be both, and Edmund Wilson is a good example: someone who started out as purely a writer, then became an intellectual, then gave that up and returned [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post is about Paul Johnson&#8217;s book &#8220;Intellectuals&#8221; and follows an earlier post on the first few chapters of that book. In the chapter on Tolstoy, we read that the &#8220;great man&#8221; was, like all the others  in this book so far, undoubtedly a great writer, but also an egotistical monster, a liar, an ungrateful scoundrel.
