"The sociology of literature, in the first of many paradoxes,
elicits negations before assertions," write the editors of this
volume. "It is not an established field or academic discipline. . .
. Yet none of these limitations affect the vitality and rigor of
the larger enterprise."
Convinced that literature and society are essentially related to
each other, the contributors to this collection attempt to define
the various sociological practices of literature and to give
expression to this enterprise and the commitments of its partisans.
In various ways, the essays assembled here seek to integrate text,
institution, and individual (both author and critic) as necessary
parts of the analysis of literature. Diverse, sometimes
contradictory approaches to literature (Marxism, publishing
history, new historicism, and others) are utilized as the
contributors explore such topics as text, author-function, and
appropriation; the reality of representation; the sociology of
exchange; the uses of "serious" fiction; poetry and politics;
publishing history; and the literary field.
