The Work of Reading: Literary Criticism in the 21st Century is a
sustained critical examination of the developments in the field of
literary studies from the early 2000s onwards within the context of
the systematic problems in the humanities. This volume analyzes the
origins of the current methods-including New Historicism,
empiricism, New Formalism, postcritique, and others-and posits
alternatives to the present state of literary studies. At a time
when many aspects of current methods show a desire to adopt values
from other disciplines to solve internal crises, this volume
advocates a renewed focus on questions of form by means of the
praxis of aesthetic study, close reading, and other modes of
engaging directly with literary texts.
