No Passion Spent
George Steiner
Originally published in 1996, a collection of essays which examine the Bible, Homer and Shakespeare in the light of what is meant by reading a serious text at a time when theories of language and literature question the possibility of any agreed meaning; and discuss what language tells us of Socrates and of Jesus.
