The Winter 2011 issue of Critical Inquiry is now available online. To access the table of contents, please click here. We thought readers of this blog would be particularly interested in Robert Pippin’s essay on “Agency and Fate in Orson Welles’s The Lady from Shanghai“ and Jonathan Kramnick’s essay, “Against Literary Darwinism.”


[Editor's note, 2/10/11: Carroll's response to Kramnick has been removed from this blog, at the request of Prof. Carroll; Critical Inquiry intends to publish it in the near future, along with a rejoinder by Kramnick and perhaps some further commentaries from others.]
