In an era when many scholars and critics can't seem to see the
forest of literature for the trees of theory, objective readings of
texts are few and far between. In Devotions to the Text, Steven
Carter seeks to counter this trend by demonstrating that Samuel
Johnson's admonition to "empty your mind of cant" is still sage
advice for today's readers, both private and professional.
Devotions to the Text constitutes a bold act of rebellion against
those who would transform texts into mirrors that reflect only
their own ideas and/or ideologies.
