This volume is guided by the assumption that the current >dominance of historicist >approaches to literary study has often distorted the discipline, that >historical methodology as it has >been applied in contemporary literary scholarship is often heedless of its own >methodological >inconsistency, blind to its dependence on other disciplines, and incapable of >clearly articulating many >of its own most deeply held values. The essays in this volume will address >the flaws of literary >historicism as it is currently practiced and suggest more productive roles for >historical scholarship with >the ultimate purpose of clarifying the goals and values of literary study. We >welcome contributions that >will draw on a variety of fields, including aesthetics, ethics, theology, the >sciences, and history, >especially new and alternative visions of historical research. We are looking >for essays that engage >rather than ignore the challenge presented by contemporary historicism and >that offer theoretically >supported alternatives to what has become the new disciplinary orthodoxy. > >Completed essays (5,000-8,000 words) are due by March 1, 2007.
