Document Summary

The well-wrought urn is (supposed to be) sealed off from the world. How things mean vs. what they mean. Auerbach always wants to get to history: wants to break the boundary between art and history, use art to get to history. Auerbach is trying to get to the outside of the poem by looking closely at the inside. Brooks = kant, auerbach = hegel (as their "founders") There is a gap between what we see and what is reality. Could interpret mimesis as a manifestation of reality. To auerbach there is no difference between art and history: style offers a more fundamental truth of history. Judge art to figure out the world: literary criticism then, in a sense, is always doing history. Looks at the implications of the 2 styles on 1037. Kjv is the more historical because it more closely resembles reality: complex characters and situations vs. cardboard cut-out characters(homer)
