In Visions of Presence in Modern American poetry, eminent scholar Nathan A. Scott, Jr., argues that this testimony to 'presence' offered by poetry is the strongest possible refutation of poststructuralist theory of knowledge. Exhibiting the kind of wide-ranging analysis his readers have come to expect, Scott explores the ways in which the poetic act of contemplation makes palpable the sense of' a something more.'

The contemporary writer's search for meaningful symbol is closely linked to the theologian's effort to communicate religious reality. In this book, the author seeks to bring the Christian faith into a genuine dialogue with modern literature in order to achieve a renewal and deepening of both.

"No critic, no man of letters in our time, has surpassed the scope, seriousness, verbal virtuosity--truly, he is the Guest of Language--and sheer vivacity of mind of George Steiner. The various, supple, often subtle, essays of this volume do critical honor to Steiner, his fierce poetics of meaning, his shocking deed of semantic trust. And unlike so much contemporary criticism, they all share a tact of the heart."--Ihab Hassan.
