Academic capitalism & literary value

Edición de la obra Academic capitalism & literary value

Confronting some of the most heated issues in the literary academy.

In the hands of some feminists, Marxists, new historicists, African-Americanists, and others, Fromm says, literature is a commodity over which exclusive, self-aggrandizing interests are struggling for monopolistic control. - Publisher.
