Just staggering. Leaving aside the erudition required to assimilate so many texts in so many different languages, Auerbach writes with such piercing clarity, stripped of excess, penetrating directly into the the given text. I thought his study on Dante was magnificent, and it's frankly astonishing that he could write that well not just about Dante but, as it turns out, about the whole of European literature.
