Contents:
Frontmatter -- Acknowledgments -- Foreword -- Contents -- Belief and the Suspension of Disbelief / Abrams, M. H. -- Tradition and Experience / Bush, Douglas -- Implications of an Organic Theory of Poetry / Brooks, Cleanth -- Voice as Summons for Belief / Ong, Walter J. -- The Collaboration of Vision in the Poetic Act: The Religious Dimension / Scott, Nathan A. -- Wallace Stevens: The World as Meditation / Martz, Louis L. -- A Selected Bibliography -- Supervising Committee, the English Institute, 1957 -- The Program -- Registrants, 1957
Summary: A collection of essays on the topic of belief -- or the suspension of disbelief -- in the reading and appreciation of literature. While the essays display diverse approaches to the topic, they all agree that a work of literature is to be apprehended for its inherent and terminal values, but that it involves assumptions and beliefs and sympathies with which a large measure of concurrence is indispensable for the reading of literature as literature and not another thing.
