As the number of hyper-knowledgeable literary fans grows, students and researchers in English departments waver between dismissing and harnessing voices outside the academy. Meanwhile, the role that the university plays in contemporary literary fiction is becoming increasingly complex and metafictional, moving far beyond the 'campus novel' of the mid-twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMartin Paul Eve's engaging and far-reaching study explores the novel's contribution to the ongoing displacement of cultural authority away from university English. Spanning the works of Jennifer Egan, Ishmael Reed, Tom McCarthy, Sarah Waters, Percival Everett, Roberto Bolaño and many others, \u003cem\u003e Literature Against Criticism \u003c\/em\u003eforces us to re-think our previous notions about the relationship between those who write literary fiction and those who critique it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Paul Eve\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783742747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783742745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Open Book Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 250\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Martin Paul Eve","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48014052557055,"sku":"9781783742745","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4c42bd56-accc-4f1a-98fa-b7e424ff48b2.jpg?v=1767746426","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/literature-against-criticism-martin-paul-eve-9781783742745","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
