Beyond Criticism

Taking advantage of new opportunities offered by digital technology and new insights from contemporary creative practice that take us from abstract theory back to literature itself, Beyond Criticism explores radical new forms that literary criticism might take in the 21st century.

The series was originally supported by an online community site for students, scholars and creative practitioners at http://thebee.buzz/, with responses and reactions to published books and shorter works of criticism posted on a monthly basis.

Beyond Criticism is part of a wider collaboration between the University of East Anglia (UEA) and the Institute of English Studies (IES) on the creative critical. Created in partnership with New Writing, it features spaces for original creative-critical writing, teaching resources related to creative-critical pedagogy, and a growing bibliography of creative-critical anthologies, publishers, journals and web resources.

In 2019, the website and the book series, moved to Boiler House Press. The series explores the radical new forms that literary criticism might take in the 21st century. Each book will be accompanied by an online ‘expansion’, featuring additional materials (responses, drafts, photographs, drawings, music, video and more) which will be published on the website.
