| 1949 | Image and Idea. Rahv's critical collection includes the paradigm-creating essay "Paleface and Redskin," which identifies a dichotomy between experience and consciousness among American writers. Rahv, who came to the United States as a child from Russia, cofounded the Partisan Review in 1933. |
| 1965 | The Myth and the Powerhouse. The title essay, first published in 1953, attacks the prevalence of myth-criticism popularized by Northrup Frye, which, in Rahv's view, detaches works of art from their historical context. |
| 1969 | Literature and the Sixth Sense. This collection of critical and political essays is united by an awareness of the historical, which Rahv defines as the sixth sense. |
