2010 Text 1
Of all the changes that have taken place in English-language newspapers during the past
quarter-century, perhaps the most far-reaching has been the inexorable decline in the
scope and seriousness of their arts coverage.
It is difficult to the point of impossibility for the average reader under the age of forty to
imagine a time when high-quality arts criticism could be found in most big-city newspapers.
Yet a considerable number of the most significant collections of criticism published in the
20th century consisted in large part of newspaper reviews. To read such books today is to
