    摘要、提要註: What happened to beauty? How did the university literature classroomturn into a seminar on politics? Focusing on such writers as Don DeLillo, Virginia Woolf, and James Merrill, this book examines what has beenlost to literature as a discipline, and to literary criticism as a practice, as a result of efforts to reduce the aesthetic to the ideological. Green-Lewis and Soltan celebrate the return of beauty as a subject in its own right to literary studies, a return all the more urgent givenbeauty's ability to provide not merely consolation but a sense of order and control in the context ofa threatening political world.
