Samuel Taylor Coleridge's conception of "the willing suspension of
disbelief" marks a pivotal moment in the history of literary
theory. Returning to Coleridge's thought and Shakespeare criticism
to reconstruct this idea as a form of "poetic faith", Michael Tomko
here lays the foundations of a new theologically oriented mode of
literary criticism. Bringing Coleridge into dialogue with thinkers
ranging from Augustine to Josef Pieper, contemporary critics such
as Stephen Greenblatt and Terry Eagleton as well as writers like
J.R.R. Tolkien and Wendell Berry, Beyond the Willing Suspension of
Disbelief offers a method of reading for post-secular literary
criticism that is not only historically and politically aware but
also deeply engaged with aesthetic form.
