Annotation
This book boldly takes issue with traditional literary criticism for its failure to explain how literature as a body is created and shaped by institutional forces. Peter Uwe Hohendahl approaches literary history by focusing on the material and ideological structures that determine the canonical status of writers and works. He examines important elements in the making of a national literature including the political and literary public sphere, the theory and practice of literary criticism, and the emergence of academic criticism as literary history.
