Description
Summary:	This forum offers a discussion of The Limits of Critique, a work of literary theory by Rita Felski, the William R. Kenan, Jr., Professor of English at the University of Virginia and editor of New Literary History, whose scholarship has shaped an emerging area sometimes described as "post-critique." We invited the five scholars whose essays are included here to submit short responses to Felski's book under the general theme of "Religion, Literature, and The Limits of Critique." Rather than simply review the book, these essays engage with it, exploring the broader influence and implications of "postcritical reading" for the fields of religion and literature, postsecular studies, and other related areas. Rita Felski's concluding essay offers generous response as well as compelling pushback to these five reflections.
