Summary
Presenting different ways to imagine criticism without critique, this collection provides a survey of both the difficult times facing ideological critique and the ways in which literary criticism and aesthetics have been affected by changing attitudes toward critique. While critique is certainly not dead, evidence can be seen of its decline and - in its place - a revival of interest in literary criticism that bears only a distant resemblance to the political critique that has dominated literary studies for so many years. This volume raises questions about the fate of the political dimensions of literary criticism amidst a sea of change in attitudes toward ideological critique - and ultimately compels one to pursue further the question: What is criticism after critique?
