- Title
A TRIBUTE TO JACQUES BARZUN ON HIS CENTENNIAL.
- Authors
Simmons, Tracy Lee
- Abstract
An essay is presented which offers a tribute to Jacques Barzun who chronicled the achievement of man in his magisterial and exhaustive book "From Dawn To Decadence: Five Hundred Years of Western Cultural Life." The book elevated the pursuit of cultural history and criticism to academic respectability and many scholars claim that few if any has quite the same thoroughness and precision who could write with the same joy. According to the essay, his writings may be considered erudite but he can be ruthlessly and painstakingly meticulous.
