The Rebirth of American Literary Theory and Criticism
A group of homogeneous interviews with contemporary literary and cultural theorists All the interviews are completed. The same ten questions were addressed to all the interviewees. The result is a homogeneous volume unlike most other interview projects.
The interviewees of this volume fall into three groups: the main players who brought about the rise of theory (Fish, Gallop, Spivak, Bhabha); a younger group of post-theorists (Brub, Dimock, Nealon, Warren); the anti-critique theorists (Felski); and new order theorists (Puchner, Wolfe). They discuss elemental questions, such as trying to grasp what was logic and what was rhetoric; trying to see down the road while fog and turmoil held visibility to arm's length; and trying to pick legible meanings out of the cultural blanket of deafening noise. Theorists were not only good thinkers but also pioneers who were seeking profound transformations.
