This book is a collection of essays that define the most important principles of literary criticism and examine their relevance to the work of specific authors, including James Wood, Harold Bloom, and Susan Sontag. Intended for both academic and general readers, this insightful collection of essays takes a counter-position to contemporary orthodoxy—particularly revealing in its assessment of the flawed strategies employed by prominent critics—and offers the foundations of a philosophy that affirms the value not only of criticism but of literature itself.

Greene's collection is brimming with important and illuminating insights. Readers have reported that it infects their subsequent reading and writing with ever-increasing "goosebumps" and changes their perspective on literature and criticism. While many literary scholars seem more interested in advancing a theoretical perspective than in engaging with texts and readers, this book returns attention directly to the mechanics of literary work.
