Politics and Value in English Studies A Discipline in Crisis?

The current debate about the nature of English studies has questioned the status of English as a discipline. Josephine Guy and Ian Small set this so-called 'crisis in English' within the larger context of disciplinary knowledge. They examine the teaching of English and literary studies in the United States and Britain, and argue that the attempt by some radical critics to politicize the discipline has profound consequences for the nature of English studies. In the process they demystify issues and arguments which have often been obscured by jargon and polemic.Guy, Josephine M. is the author of 'Politics and Value in English Studies A Discipline in Crisis?' with ISBN 9780521442534 and ISBN 0521442532.
