What happened to beauty? How did the university literature
classroom turn into a seminar on politics? Focusing on such writers
as Don DeLillo, Virginia Woolf, and James Merrill, this book
examines what has been lost to literature as a discipline, and to
literary criticism as a practice, as a result of efforts to reduce
the aesthetic to the ideological. Green-Lewis and Soltan celebrate
the return of beauty as a subject in its own right to literary
studies, a return all the more urgent given beauty s ability to
provide not merely consolation but a sense of order and control in
the context of a threatening political world.
