A defense and celebration of the discipline of literary studies and its most distinctive practice--close reading.Does literary criticism offer truths about the world? Close reading is the field's way of pursuing arguments and advancing knowledge--the crucial craft and skill that it imparts to students. In this book, Jonathan Kramnick explains literary criticism's distinctive approach to knowledge and its disciplinary rationale by zeroing in on its singular method: close reading.
Drawing on recent examples of literary criticism, Kramnick unpacks the art of in-text quotations and other reading methods, advocating for them as a valuable form of humanistic expertise worthy of a prominent place within a For Kramnick, close reading is also a creative, transformative, and immersive writing practice that fosters a unique kind of ecologically-minded engagement with the world.
