The Current in Criticism is meant to provide the reader with a wide spectrum of current thinking, a sampling of some of the arguments, attitudes, and perspectives, which participate in the swirl of intense speculative energy that is so characteristic of contemporary theory. The editors describe this collection of 14 essays as "a tentative assessment of where we are and where we might be going in literary study, of what is current in criticism and of where the critical current might be tending."

Industry Reviews

"[The Current in Criticism] contains several excellent essays which will be read with pleasure and challenge by literary scholars interested in new directions in critical theory." --Kenneth R. Johnston "As a collection of pieces that reveal current directions in criticism and theory, this collection has many merits. As a group the essays (and the Fish interview) are indeed what the title claims - current. " . . . Virtually every piece has some strength of thought or liveliness of expression to recommend it." --Robert Scholes "As a guide for the perplexed, or as source material for advanced seminar discussion, this book deserves a place high on the list of recommended reading." --Christopher Norris "Whether one agrees or disagrees with any given essay or argument, one will find this collection well worth reading, for it addresses some of the most vital questions currently being debated in theory and criticism." --Dominick LaCapra
