Book Synopsis
For Jerome McGann, the purpose of scholarship is to preserve and pass on cultural heritage, a feat accomplished through discussion among scholars and interested nonspecialists. In this collection of thirteen essays, McGann both addresses and exemplifies that discussion and the vocation it supports.

Trade Review
"Jerome McGann is an internationally influential critic, with a long career not only of scholarly labor but of setting the agenda for critical adventures, theoretical reflection, and editorial precision, low-tech and hi-tech. The engaging array of informal, essayistic conversations in The Scholar's Art holds interest for everyone, from newcomers to those who have long been following and learning from his work, with illumination and gratitude." - Susan J. Wolfson, Princeton University"
