Recenzje

Literature in the Making excavates the complex cultural negotiations that produced the category of 'literature,' a concept that would then undergird the emergent discipline of 'English.' Parsing ideas about the literary in relation to evolving social distinctions between public and expert culture, Glazener's timely and important book steps into urgent scholarly conversations about the status of disciplines in what Louis Menand has called the 'post-disciplinary' era.
