In this insightful work of literary criticism, “Caliban In Grub Street,” Ronald Knox dissects the state of modern journalism and literature with his characteristic wit and sharp intellect. Knox, a master of prose, offers a trenchant critique of the sensationalism and intellectual shallowness he perceived in the popular press of his time. He argues for a return to more rigorous standards of truth and artistry in writing, presenting his observations with both humor and a profound understanding of the craft. This volume is a compelling read for anyone interested in the history of journalism, literary criticism, or the evolution of public discourse.
