A Note on the Plight of Literary Studies [Elektronische Daten] [Aladár Sarbu] The situation of literary studies is increasingly cause for concern in the universities of major English-speaking countries. Robert Scholes, in The Rise and Fall of English: Reconstructing English as a Discipline, and Michael Bérubé, in The Employment of English: Theory, Jobs, and the Future of Literary Studies, approach the crisis from different angles and propose reforms which would affect scholarship, teaching and the job-market. Scholes's idea of Pacesetter English and Bérubé's exploration of the ways in which literary education can be put to practical uses reflect the directions in which renewal may be sought. The article discusses these books within the framework of the history of academic English and the current reaction against the dominant tendencies, in theory and criticism, of the past three decades.
