Literary studies are at a tipping point. ." There is broad
agreement that the discipline is in "crisis"--that it is aimless,
that its intellectual energy is spent, that all of the trends are
bad, and that fundamental change will be required to set things
right. But there is little agreement on what those changes should
be, and no one can predict which way things will ultimately
tip.
"Literature, Science, and a New Humanities" represents a bold
new response to the crisis in academic literary studies. This book
presents a total challenge to dominant paradigms of literary
analysis and offers a sweeping critique of those paradigms, and
sketches outlines of a new paradigm inspired by scientific
theories, methods, and attitudes.
