Abstract
Errata unveils George Steiner's personality and thought across time, and explores the interrelation of both through the use of literature and culture. As a critic of culture, he deals with broad cultural and spiritual issues related to Judaism and its transmission. His father's influence, his ongoing engagement with literary paradigms, and his account of scholarly influences lead us to interpret this autobiography as a document that promotes the author as the embodiment of his own intellectual personality. Errata constitutes an example of the Jewish devotion for teaching and learning, with knowledge transmission as its transcendent feature. As a result, Steiner explores how the tragic human and cultural events of the twentieth century can be examined from a personal and the academic perspective, and how conclusions can and should be translated into commitment.
