Description: "What has been gained and what lost as literary criticism becomes a branch of cultural history?"--BOOK JACKET.

"A dozen renowned scholars discuss each other's work and attempt to come to terms with the central theoretical issues about which the discipline disagrees. Focusing primarily on Henry Fielding, the essays employ and defend positions within feminism, Marxism, Bour-delian analysis, queer theory, and cultural studies, along with a more theoretically savvy version of formalist criticism."--BOOK JACKET.
