The crisis in English studies

Abstract

I've tried to give you fair warning in the flushed rhetoric of this paper's title that the genre I've chosen is not that of a research report but that of a prophetic admonition. Prophecy always involves presumption. And of course, intimations of doom are particularly indiscreet, since the doomsdays they foretell may turn out to be no more than fictions engendered by that need for invented apocalypse which Frank Kermode discusses in his book The Sense of an Ending.
