Preview Politics and Value in English Studies: A Discipline in Crisis?

Description:
The current debate about the nature of English studies has questioned the status of English as a discipline. Josephine Guy and Ian Small set this so-called "crisis in English" within the larger context of disciplinary knowledge.

In the process they demystify issues and arguments that have often been obscured by jargon and polemic.
