- Synopsis
- In The Fortunes of Poetry in an Age of Unmaking, James Matthew Wilson demolishes the bankruptcy and pretensions of much contemporary poetry and literary scholarship. Though he offers many illustrations of the sometimes hilarious absurdities that have overtaken our literary culture, he does not settle for mere criticism or mirth. Rather, Wilson's study offers us nothing less than a renewed philosophy of poetry and literary criticism, one that accounts for poetry's historical distinction as the "paradigmatic art form" and shows us a way forward to its renewal and restoration in this otherwise dreary "age of unmaking."
