description: A teacher at Cambridge University, visiting professor at Oxford, widely published essayist and author of such previous collections as After Aspects of Language and Translation, George Steiner ranks among the preeminent modern practitioners of that peculiar occupation of literary critic. In No Passion Spent he ranges literature in translation; the Bible; the Holocaust; Shakespeare. Much of the work here is informed by Steiner's fear that technology and anti-elitism pose a deadly threat to the high culture that he believes may be humanity's only saving grace.
