Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear Jeremy,
thank you so much!
I feel very grateful and slightly guilty to have provoked such a detailed response. I had a look at some of the lists you suggest, and, of course, I have my own favorites (some of which you mention), but I was curious to see what people here in the MLA forum would say…
P.S. Among the books I haven’t read yet,…[Read more]

Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 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.

Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 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.

Media and Literature on MLA Commons 11 years, 2 months agoDear all,
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! I hope I’m not the only one interested in showing friends what it is we as a species actually do: perhaps w…[Read more]
