The past few years have seen several consequential texts investigating the methods of literary criticism: writing by John Guillory, Jonathan Kramnick, Anaheid Nercessian, Caroline Levine, Anna Kornbluh, and others have responded forcibly to both longstanding disciplinary debates and newly pressing economic forces. Among the most notable features of this discussion has been a new attention to writing as the medium of method; while drawing on a long theoretical history (likely to include work by Weber and Adorno) we will spend a good deal of time with the methodogical implications of contemporary critical prose.
