Professional Correctness Literary Studies and Political Change

"For Fish, you are either a paid-up member of the club or languishing in the outer darkness, either complicit or irrelvelant. Like any lawyer, he likes to win, and in the intellectual equivalent to the jury-stacking has so rigged his theories that he can never lose.... Perhaps, in the end, the concealed subtext of this strenuous assertion that criticism is one thing and politics another is the fact that Fish is at once an Establishment literary critic and a much reviled apologist for political correctness. If he can perceive little fruitful connection between these two activities of his, then it is doubtless his prerogative to say so; it is just a little immodest to universalize the case, not least for one so virulently opposed to universals.Fish, Stanley Eugene is the author of 'Professional Correctness Literary Studies and Political Change' with ISBN 9780674712201 and ISBN 067471220X.
