Does Literary Studies Have a Future? challenges the view that literary classics must be relevant to our immediate concerns: rather than providing easy recognition of what we already know, the classic startles the unfamiliar in us. Goodheart addresses the question of objectivity in humanistic study -- the vexed relations between aesthetics and ideology. He also dissects the academy's current love affair with popular culture. None of the other writings on the culture wars has so successfully reconciled the traditions of aesthetic and moral criticism and the new ideological and sociological ways of reading criticism. As an epitaph to the culturewars, Does Literary Studies Have a Future? reads like the last word.
