Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear Jeremy,

P.S. Among the books I haven’t read yet,…[Read more]

Jeremy Douglass replied to the topic literary scholarship for non-academic pleasure in the forum

Sharon Shaloo replied to the topic literary scholarship for non-academic pleasure in the forum
Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 3 months agoJames Woods would seem to fill your bill. HOW FICTION WORKS is the more “litcrit,” to invoke your categorization, and THE FUN STUFF has gestures to other arts/performance. Both are wonderfully readable.

Patrick Crapanzano replied to the topic literary scholarship for non-academic pleasure in the forum
Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 3 months agoDear Alexandra,
I like the idea of your post. One book that comes to mind is A Brave Vessel, by Hobson Woodward. It doesn’t have the pop-currency potential as Will of the World, but it’s approachable for normal people interested in The Tempest and the Sea Venture’s wreck on Bermuda.

could you recommend me works of literary scholarship which book-loving non-academic might enjoy? I don’t mean book reviews, but texts like Brodsky’s and Nabokov’s essays, or Greenblatt’sWill in the World. Thank you very much!
