A defense and celebration of the discipline of literary studies and its most distinctive practice?close reading. Does literary criticism offer truths about the world? In Criticism and Truth, Jonathan Kramnick offers a new and surprising account of criticism?s power by zeroing in on its singular method: close reading.
