Inhalt: The Chicago Critics became widely known during the 1940s and 1950s as antagonists of the New Critics. In this graduate seminar we will look at the interdependencies between the mind set of this group of literary theorists and scholars and its historical, social and institutional background. We will start with a brief survey of the historical situation in higher education and in literary scholarship/criticism in the U.S. from the beginning of the 20th century to the thirties and forties. We will locate the Chicago Critics' position in these fields, paying attention to the interrelations of both. We will trace the interrelations between the Chicago Critics' educational-political-philosophical positions and their literary-critical-metacritical postulates. We will also look at the Chicago Critics' defense of an ethical as well as an aesthetic education, and at forming standards of humanistic value. Reading material will be made available on ILIAS.
