It is a manifesto in the sense that it invites strong declarations and big ideas, rather than impeccable small contributions to edifices long under construction.\" Known for her timely challenges to the preconceptions and often unquestioned boundaries that circumscribe our culture, Garber's beautifully crafted arguments situate \"big public questions of intellectual importance\" - such as human nature and historical correctness - within the practice of literary historians and critics. This manifesto revives the ancient craft whose ultimate focus is language in action. In this book, Garber passionately states that \"the future importance of literary studies - and, if we care about such things, its intellectual and cultural prestige both among the other disciplines and in the world - will come from taking risks, and not from playing it safe.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marjorie Garber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0295983442\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780295983448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Washington Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 69\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.02h x 7.12w x 0.30d","brand":"Marjorie Garber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48216478646527,"sku":"9780295983448","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8c3c4fbc-0e5c-42ec-99bd-f9e9622eb9a2.jpg?v=1771991268","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-manifesto-for-literary-studies-marjorie-garber-9780295983448","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
