Wittgenstein is often regarded as the most important philosopher of
the twentieth century, and in recent decades, his work has begun to
play a prominent role in literary studies, particularly in debates
over language, interpretation, and critical judgment. Wittgenstein
and Literary Studies solidifies this critical movement, assembling
recent critics and philosophers who understand Wittgenstein as a
counterweight to longstanding tendencies in both literary studies
and philosophical aesthetics. The essays here cover a wide range of
topics. Why have contemporary writers been so drawn to
Wittgenstein? What is a Wittgensteinian response to New
Historicism, Post-Critique, and other major critical movements? How
does Wittgenstein help us understand the nature of style, fiction,
poetry, and the link between ethics and aesthetics? As the volume
makes clear, Wittgenstein's work provides a rare bridge between
professional philosophy and literary studies, offering us a way out
of entrenched positions and their denials-what Wittgenstein himself
called 'pictures' 'that held us captive.'
