Critical Inquiry has published the best critical thought in the arts and humanities since 1974. The journal presents articles by eminent theorists, scholars, and artists on a wide variety of issues central to contemporary criticism and culture, and is known for the charged debates within its pages between contributors and their critics. Critical Inquiry books extend those debates beyond the journal into expanded collections of essays on specific themes.

Critical Inquiry is published by our Journals Division.
