The seventh volume of Rene Wellek's monumental history of modern criticism is a comprehensive, clearly written survey of the main currents of twentieth-century criticism in eastern Europe. A forthcoming, and final, volume will cover the same period in western Europe. In volume 7, as in the preceding six books of the series, Wellek expounds and analyzes the work of the most prominent critics, offering succinct appraisals of his subjects both as individuals and as participants in the broader movements of the century.
