What is valuable about literary studies? What is its point and
purpose? In The Values of Literary Studies: Critical Institutions,
Scholarly Agendas, leading scholars in the field illuminate both
the purpose and priorities of literary criticism. At a time when
the humanities are increasingly called upon to justify themselves,
this book seeks to clarify their myriad values and ideologies.
Engaging the idea of literary value while at the same time
remaining attuned to aesthetic, ethical, political and
psychological principles, this book serves to underscore the
enduring significance of literary studies in an academic climate
that is ostensibly concerned with expediency and quantification. As
a sophisticated examination of literary theory and criticism, The
Values of Literary Studies: Critical Institutions, Scholarly
Agendas provides a comprehensive and hopeful view of where the
discipline is now and what avenues it is likely to take from here.
