The Critical Pulse by Jeffrey Williams, Heather Steffen This unprecedented anthology asks thirty-six leading literary and cultural critics to elaborate on the nature of their profession. With the humanities feeling the pinch of financial and political pressures, and its disciplines resting on increasingly uncertain conceptual ground, there couldnt be a better time for critics to reassert their widespread relevance and purpose. These credos boldly defend the function of criticism in contemporary society and showcase its vitality in the era after theory. Essays address literature and politics, with some focusing on the sorry state of higher education and others concentrating on teaching and the fate of the humanities. All reflect the critics personal, particular experiences. Deeply personal and engaging, these stories move, amuse, and inspire, ultimately encouraging the reader to develop his or her own critical credo with which to approach the world. Reflecting on the past, looking forward to the future, and committed to the power of productive critical thought, this volume proves the value of criticism for todays skeptical audiences.

Shumway, Mark Bauerlein, Devoney Looser, Stephen Burt, Mark Greif, Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Mark McGurl, Frances Negrón-Muntaner, Judith Jack Halberstam Notes Reading The Critical Pulse has given me credo envy, a previously little known neurosis. Sadly (or happily!), it is impossible to read this volume without acquiring it. Symptoms include feverish racing thoughts and bouts of self-consciousness about your own critical efforts and whether you might become more insightful or systematic or knowledgeable about them, which soon leads to sporadic outbreaks of critical credo crafting of your own, which, believe me when I tell you, is not exactly as easy as these graceful (or should I say, muscular?) examples make it seem. — Laura Kipnis, Northwestern University, author of How to Become a Scandal: Adventures in Bad Behavior Author Biography Jeffrey J. Williams is professor of English and literary and cultural studies at Carnegie Mellon University. His books include Theory and the Novel: Narrative Reflexivity in the English Tradition; PC Wars: Politics and Theory in the Academy; The Institution of Literature; and Critics at Work: Interviews. He is also a former editor of the minnesota review and coedits the Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism. Heather Steffen is a Ph.D. candidate in literary and cultural studies at Carnegie Mellon University. She is working on a dissertation about academic labor and criticism of the university in the Progressive Era.
