The article discusses the relevance and evolution of close reading in contemporary literary criticism, as explored in two recent publications: "Close Reading for the Twenty-First Century" and "On Close Reading." It addresses both methodological and existential questions facing literary critics today, emphasizing the need for a deeper understanding of close reading as a discipline amidst concerns of institutional legitimacy. The article highlights various exemplary close readings by notable critics, illustrating the technique's adaptability and significance in engaging with texts in a rapidly changing cultural landscape. Ultimately, it suggests that while close reading may not single-handedly save the discipline, it remains a vital practice that fosters a connection to literature and its broader implications.
