"His insights are genuine and his ... work, with its discussions of
18th and 19th century literature (by implication transferable to
other modes of art) has a prophetic quality that suggests new
generations will look at the Marxian model as a quaint artifact." –
Publishers Weekly
"Marcuse has written a study of aesthetics that will be central to
intelligent discussion of this subject for some time. It is one of
those profound books which simply must be taken into account." –
