Book Summary
About the Book: The Critic as Amateur
Can the criticism of literature and culture ever be completely
professionalized? Does criticism retain an amateur impulse even after it evolves
into a highly specialized discipline enshrined in the university? The Critic as
Amateur brings leading and emerging scholars together to explore the role of
amateurism in literary studies. While untrained reading has always been central
to arenas beyond the academy book clubs, libraries, used bookstores its role in
the making of professional criticism is often disavowed or dismissed. This
volume, the first on the critic as amateur, restores the links between
expertise, autodidactic learning and hobbyist pleasure by weaving
