The concept of literature
a description and an evaluation
pp. 106-127
Abstract
There is a long-standing discussion about the concept of literature and its definition (or abolition, or revision) among students of literature and of literary aesthetics. Though I have profited much from following these debates over the years, I have also felt a growing dissatisfaction with the premises which underlie the arguments both of the concept's advocates and of its critics.
