What we call literary criticism is really a debate over a few key questions: What is poetry's wellspring? God? Nature? The human self? Is poetry superfluous to human progress? Are the literary arts a vehicle to higher truths or a pack of lies? Is the author a divinely inspired rhapsode or a mere artisan, "manufacturing" meaning?
