Description: The question of literature brings together essays by a
number of distinguished theorists and academics on the changing
cultural significance of literature as such. As literary theory has
grown more influential, inter-disciplinary and sophisticated, it
has come to concern itself with a much greater range of issues and
objects than those traditionally considered literary. Literary
theory now addresses philosophy, history, psychology, politics, the
media, and potentially every other aspect of culture - but as a
result the nature of its relation to literature itself has become
less clear. The question of literature seeks to recontextualise
literature and the literary within the diversity of post modern
theory, showing how theory has changed our understanding literature
and its questions, and affirming the ways in which literature
remains valuable and transformative for present day culture. It
relates literature importantly to the institution of the
university, but also to ethical judgments and values, new media and
computer technology, and the nature of the representative
democracy. In the scope of its discussion The question of
literature constitutes a major intervention in current
literary-theoretical debates, and will be of great interest not
only to academics and students in literary, social, and cultural
studies, but to anyone concerned wit these debates or with the
future of literature as such.
