Beschreibung:
Bryan Vescio is Associate Professor of English and Humanistic Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, USA.
Pointing the way toward a revitalized future for the study of literature, Reconstruction in Literary Studies draws on philosophical pragmatism to justify the academic study of literature. In turn, Vescio connects the changing field to its social function as an institution.
