Contingencies of value
This book offered an incredible look into how we, as a literary society, decide which books hold value and why. Much of the arguments suggest that part of the value of a work stems from the fact that it is taught. The author looks at how different people may value different works for different reasons. Smith studies the subjectivity of value and the various aspects of determining value from many differny angles.
Though the arguments can sometimes seem circular, I believe the points she made were interesting and logical. Furthermore, her writing style more entertaining than most writings on critical theory that I have read. The personal anecdotes she adds to help demonstrate her arguments are interesting, amusing, and relatable.
