Campus fictionsexemption and the American campus novel /[electronic resource] :by Wesley Beal. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xiii, 228 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - American literature readings in the 21st century,2634-5803. - American literature readings in the 21st century..

Chapter 1: Introductions to the American Campus Novel -- Chapter 2: Campus Characters: Exemption and Utopia on Campus -- Chapter 3: Anti-intellectualism, "Theory," and the Reactionary Impulses of the Campus Novel -- Chapter 4: Unauthorized Sex?: Sex, Power, and Privilege in the Campus Novel -- Chapter 5: Subordinations of Academic Freedom: "Speech" as Campus Keyword and Codeword -- Chapter 6: Identity and Culture War on Campus -- Chapter 7: Hardly Workin; or, the Valences of Productivism in Campus Novels -- Chapter 8: On Teaching the University -- Chapter 9: Appendix I: Further Data -- Chapter 10: Appendix II: the Directory of the American Campus Novel.

Campus Fictions argues that the academic novel balances utopian and regressive tendencies, reinforcing the crises we face in higher learning while simultaneously signposting hope for a worn institution. Whether a bestseller such as Erich Segal 's romance Love Story (1970) or wonkier fare such as Don DeLillo's White Noise (1985), the academic novel mystifies the academy not only to a wide public but also-worse-to readers who might describe themselves as sympathetic to higher learning. The book takes an eclectic approach to the academic novel with chapters discussing, for example, the genre's rampant anti-intellectualism and its work refusals, studying novels such as Ishmael Reed's Japanese by Spring (1993) and Julie Schumacher's Dear Committee Members (2014) The book is also accompanied by the "Directory of the American Campus Novel " file, which tracks the genre by year, by setting, and by other datapoints that readers might make use of. Responding directly to Jeffrey Williams, the renowned scholar of critical university studies who implores faculty to "teach the university," the book 's conclusion describes strategies for putting these novels into circulation in the classroom. Through this breadth, Campus Fictions establishes the importance of maintaining hope in the field of critical university studies, which tends toward apocalypticism and perhaps therefore toward disengagement. Wesley Beal serves as W.C. Brown, Jr. Professor of English at Lyon College in the United States. He published his first monograph, Networks of Modernism, in 2015.
