	Rene Wellek - premier scholar of literature
		It is likely that he is the premier scholar of literature in modern times because he combined all-round mastery of the specialisms of modern literary studies, with encyclopaedic reading in several languages, clear writing, a humane vision and commitment to reason.
		Ren Wellek's father moved from Prague to work as a government lawyer in Vienna, the capital of the massive Austo-Hungarian empire.
		Sarah Lawall's "Ren Wellek and Modern Literary Criticism," CL 40 (1988), 3-24, is an excellent introduction to his conception of literary scholarship, which gives equal attention to criticism, theory and history.

		Wellek reasons that the poem is preserved through print, but is not identical to its printed form because, if the books were destroyed, it could continue to exist in memory and in oral performance.
		A hierarchy of viewpoints, a criticism of the grasp of norms, is implied in the concept of the adequacy of interpretation" (156).
		Adequacy of interpretation, to use Wellek's phrase, is not determined by an approximation to an object's transcendent identity, but is unremittingly specific and particular and historicized.

		As if that was not enough he was a pivotal figure in the field of language studies where he was a vital influence on others who are nowadays much better known such as Roman Jakobson.
		Wellek was probably the most learned and judicious student of literature in the twentieth century.
		This claim does not survive a critical confrontation with Wellek's prodigious achievement.

	A History of Modern Criticism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In his ongoing history of modern criticism—there is one more volume to come, covering France, Italy and Spain—he takes up the major thinkers, paraphrases their books and articles, and in so doing, presents their theories of literature, along with his own criticism.
		Wellek [evidences] a clarity of exposition, a balance and acuteness, and an encyclopedic knowledge of [his] subject.
		Wellek's special strength has always been his insistence on a close examination of the writings of the critics he studies, on confronting them with the literary works they write about, and on setting forth his own reactions to both as clearly a possible."—Thomas R. Hart, Comparative Literature

		In short, Wellek dismisses any psychological or purely social explanation.
		Instead, what Wellek argues for is a "system of norms, realized only partially in the actual experience of [the work's] many readers.
		Every single experience (reading, reciting, and so forth) is only an attempt--more or less successful and complete--to grasp this set of norms or standards." These norms are implicit and can be detected in all "real" literature by an educated reader.

		In the seventh of a projected eight-volume history of Western literary criticism, Wellek is close to his own intellectual roots.
		This is evident in his lack of enthusiasm for Marxists such as Walter Benjamin and Mikhail Bakhtin and his praise for the phenomenological aesthetics of the Polish philosopher Roman Ingarden.
		Still, Wellek sustains the clarity and vigor of his earlier volumes, making us wish that he planned to extend this history beyond 1950.

		Partisans will doubtless quarrel with the evaluation and rank Wellek assigns to their favorites (D.H. Lawrence, Kenneth Burke, Ezra Pound to name a few), specialists will nitpick (as Wellek himself sometimes does), and adherents of the newer criticisms are likely to find Wellek condemning the very trends and tenets they most value.
		In these two volumes, Wellek has brought together a comprehensive critical survey of the work of each major British and American critic of the past 50 years (along with a useful chronology of publication dates).
		His erudition is immense but his writing is always clear and clarifying, as are his judgments.
