Description: Confronting some of the most heated issues in the literary academy. Harold Fromm charges that the critical practices dominating the liberal arts over the past two decades have subordinated literature to unethical ends. In the hands of some feminists, Marxists, new historicists, African-Americanists, and others, Fromm says, literature is a commodity over which exclusive, self-aggrandizing interests are struggling for monopolistic control. - Publisher.
