Its focus reflects the ways that similar pressures today have renewed the question of how to make the case for the public value of the humanities. The good news is that in many ways, this self-reflexive challenge is precisely what the humanities have always done best: highlight the nature and the force of the narratives that have helped to define how we understand our society - its various pasts and its possible futures - and to suggest the larger contexts within which these issues must ultimately be situated. .Palgrave Studies in the Enlightenment, Romanticism and Cultures of Print,2634-6524Literature, Modern19th centuryLiteratureHistory and criticismCivilizationHistoryPhilosophyHistoryEthnologyGreat BritainCultureNineteenth-Century LiteratureLiterary HistoryCultural HistoryHistory of PhilosophyBritish CultureLiterature, ModernLiteratureHistory and criticism.CivilizationHistory.PhilosophyHistory.EthnologyCulture.Nineteenth-Century Literature.Literary History.Cultural History.History of Philosophy.British Culture.001.309809.034Keen Paulauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut975992MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483786903321A Defence of the Humanities in a Utilitarian Age2222460UNINA
