PREFACE

The aims and intentions of Literature and Criticism are probably best described by an account of the project's history. Our brief from the publisher was for a work of reference, covering the field of literary and critical activity now usually described as English or English Literature. From the earliest stages of planning, however, we felt that what was needed went beyond a descriptive guide to authors and texts on conventional lines. The idea began to take shape of a work that acknowledged both the existence of texts and the surrounding structure of critical debate. We moved towards a notion of a reference work which not only covered English literature, but also dealt with how it has been discussed and how it is being discussed now.

Such a work could not, and should not, aim to be an objective guide. On the contrary, it was agreed that we should consciously set out to engage scholars and critics of different persuasions, with the prospect that their varying perspectives would be reflected in the essays. While subject areas were specified in general outline, authors were invited to question divisions and propose their own modifications. Attention was drawn to some of the implications of our scope (for instance, that essays would need to achieve a balance appropriate to their subject between literature and criticism). We encouraged writers to address recent critical and scholarly issues in their field and to indicate where they felt new ground might be broken.

The Encyclopedia's sections and an approximate order of subjects were drafted at an early stage, so that most contributors wrote with an awareness of the particular context in which their essays would be placed. As new ideas (and some gaps) came to our attention, a few additional titles were commissioned; some local changes in order were also made as opportunities for creating fresh currents and tensions between neighbouring essays became available. The rationale behind the structure, nevertheless, remains largely unchanged. The introductory keynote essays in Section I, lay out theparameters of the debate, and propose issues which reverberate throughout the volume: what do we mean by literature now? is there a present role for criticism? how can we describe the complex and ever-changing relationship between these terms? Sections IIV, in external organization at least, reflect more traditional ways of thinking about English as a subject. The essays in Section II are patterned according to established ideas of period and literary movement, though standard assumptionsincluding the lines of demarcation dividing cultural erasare always open to challenge. In the third, fourth and fifth sections topics are assembled under the genre headings of poetry, drama and the novel. Authors, on the other hand, were by no means bound by conventional categorizations, which are often questioned from within sections and at their margins.
