In \u003ci\u003eThe Scholar's Art, \u003c\/i\u003e a collection of thirteen essays, McGann both addresses and exemplifies that discussion and the vocation it supports. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Of particular interest to McGann is the demise of public discourse about poetry. That poetry has become recondite is, to his mind, at once a problem for how scholars do their work and a general cultural emergency. \u003ci\u003eThe Scholar's Art\u003c\/i\u003e asks what could be gained by reimagining the way scholars have codified the literary and cultural history of the past two hundred years and goes on to provide a series of case studies that illustrate how scholarly method can help bring about such reimaginings. McGann closes with a discussion of technology's ability to harness the reimagination of cultural memory and concludes with exemplary acts of critical reflection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Astute observation from one of America's most bracing and original commentators on the place of literature in twenty-first century culture, \u003ci\u003eThe Scholar's Art\u003c\/i\u003e proposes new ways-cultural, philological, and technological-to reimagine our literary past and future.","brand":"University of Chicago Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47613196402839,"sku":"9780226500850","price":4083.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780226500850.webp?v=1775083345","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-scholars-art-literary-studies-in-a-managed-world-9780226500850","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
