Excerpt from Tragic Themes in Western Literature: Seven Essays by Bernard Knox, Maynard Mack, Chauncey B. Tinker, Henri Peyre, Richard B. Sewall, Konstantin Reichardt, Louis L. Martz, Edited With an Introduction For the general audience, this kind of book is certainly the most effective way of doing so. Such an audience can scarcely be expected to see the treatise written for the Specialist. Even the specialist, precisely because he is a specialist, can profit from this means of dramatizing the ultimate oneness of man. The literary specialist nowadays spends so much of his time considering Medieval Man or Renaissance Man or Modern Man, and so much time in viewing him as Greek or Italian or French-man, that it is invigorating for him to be forced outside the departmentalization which is, if the glory, also the weakness of the modern university.
