*APPROVED*Interdisciplinary collection exploring the inseparability of ‘theory’ and ‘practice’ in critical thinkingNew Critical Thinking introduces the reader to different ways of thinking about criticism and offers new approaches to interdisciplinary reading. The twelve chapters in this volume introduce new areas of critical thinking which go beyond the standard ‘isms’ and offer a timely intervention in the debate around the crisis in the humanities, in the understanding and reassessment of the idea of modernity as well as the need for a return to close reading. Each essay starts from a dual premise: the personal experience of reading and the necessity of beginning any critical act through a close reading of that text, however theoretically informed the reading may be. New Critical Thinking resists the conventions of assigning a single theory to a given act of reading; instead, it reintroduces the significance of transforming critical engagement through a challenging, adventurous series of arguments that question implicitly the institutional status quo of the critical act, while imagining a criticism to come that exceeds the programmed work of the mechanical application of literary theory.Key Features•Presents cutting-edge debates for more advanced students in an engaging and sophisticated way•Provides a wide range of ‘case studies’ including poetry, film, reading devices, popular fiction and non-fiction prose•Reflects newly emerging ways of teaching critical ideas in the classroom•Opens criticism to dialogue and possibilityJulian Wolfreys is the author and editor of more than 40 books on literary theory and nineteenth- and twentieth-century British Literature.
