The current debate about the nature of English studies has
questioned the status of English as a discipline. In this 1993
book, Josephine Guy and Ian Small set this so-called 'crisis in
English' within the larger context of disciplinary knowledge. They
examine the teaching of English and literary studies in the United
States and Britain, and argue that the explicit attempt by some
radical critics on both sides of the Atlantic to politicise the
discipline has profound consequences for the nature of English
studies. They describe the state of disciplinary knowledge,
together with its social and philosophical preconditions; they
analyse proposals for reform; and they discuss the ways in which
these proposed reforms would affect the three main practices of the
discipline - literary criticism, literary history and text-editing.
In the process they demystify issues and arguments which have often
in the past been obscured by jargon and polemic.
