Critical Analysis

Critical theory was born over a century ago. Created to foster social transformation, this emerging theory would soon influence universities, politics, and pop culture across the globe and spark tense debates between groups across the sociopolitical spectrum. But what exactly lies at the heart of critical theory, and how should Christians engage with this controversial perspective? To answer these questions, we must examine the history, philosophy, and ideas of the thinkers who shaped its development.

Most readers have heard of Ulysses. Few have actually read it. This edition is for both. Published in Paris in 1922, Ulysses follows Leopold Bloom through a single day in Dublin — June 16, 1904 — and in doing so dismantles every assumption about what a novel can be and do. Stream of consciousness, interior monologue, parody, myth, obscenity, tenderness, comedy: Joyce deploys them all simultaneously, not as technique but as necessity. He was not being difficult. He was being honest about the way a mind actually works. Ulysses — One day. One city. One man buying a kidney for breakfast, ...

The first sentence is a joke. Everything that follows is serious. "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife." Jane Austen wrote that in 1813 and it has never stopped being funny — or stopped being true in the specific way that cuts. The sentence is ironic. The society it describes was not. Pride and Prejudice is a novel about intelligence operating inside a system designed to prevent its exercise. Elizabeth Bennet is the most perceptive person in every room she enters — and the room, being England in 1813, has ...

Virginia Woolf called it the only English novel written for grown-up people. She was not wrong. Published in eight instalments between 1871 and 1872, Middlemarch does something no novel before it had done with such precision: it takes ordinary life seriously. Not the extraordinary life — not war, not shipwreck, not crime — but the life of a provincial English town, its marriages and ambitions and failures and the slow accumulation of days that constitutes most of human existence. George Eliot understood that this was the real subject. Everything else was avoidance. Dorothea Brooke — ...
