Literary criticism has been called a story of reading. In what circumstances have the best critical stories been told? From Jenny Uglow's chapter on the journalistic world of Henry Fielding to Marjorie Perloff's praise for the impact of the Internet on poetry reviewing, Grub Street and the Ivory Tower gives lively case-histories of the commercial and institutional contexts of writing about writing, especially the vexed relationship between journalism and academe.
