The relationship between literature and society has been a subject of continuous exploration since the inception of literature itself. On the one hand, from Plato’s theory of mimesis onward, literature has consistently been viewed as a representation of social reality, positioning literature as subordinate to society. On the other hand, with the rise of structuralism and the New Criticism, certain schools of thought have focused exclusively on literature itself, deliberately overlooking the complex connections between literature and society. The growing tension between these two perspectives has increasingly placed contemporary literary studies in a polarized state, leading to a crisis in the legitimacy of literary scholarship. In response to this, Rita Felski’s exploration of the uses of literature embodies a new literary sociology that offers a way out of the current impasse in literary studies.
