The Future of Criticism: A Conference in Honor of Roger Shattuck (2/4)

The 2010 Future of Criticism conference was a great success, thanks to our wonderful panelists and audience. Bob Weil's thought-provoking remembrance of Shattuck's life and work set the stage for a day of insightful discussion. Daniel Mendelsohn and Thomas Mallon engaged in a riveting conversation about the state of literary criticism today, and Christopher Ricks, Denis Donoghue, Liesl Schillinger and Morris Dickstein discussed the changing nature of criteria and approaches to criticism throughout the 20th century. Jed Perl, Maud Newton, Lorin Stein and Jane Ciabattari wrapped up the day with a look at criticism's future in the age of the internet. We were pleased to give the first two annual Roger Shattuck Prizes in Criticism to Marcela Valdes and Adam Kirsch.
