PALGRAVE STUDIES IN LITERATURE CULTURE AND ECON...

Tracing the shift from liberal to neoliberal education from the nineteenth century to the
present day  this open access book provides a rich and previously underdeveloped narrative of
value in higher education in England. Value and the Humanities draws upon historical  financial
and critical debates concerning educational and cultural policy. Rather than writing a singular
defence of the humanities against economic rationalism  Zoe Hope Bulaitis constructs a nuanced
map of the intersections of value in the humanities  encompassing an exploration of policy
engagement  scientific discourses  fictional representation  and the humanities in public life.
The book articulates a kaleidoscopic range of humanities practices which demonstrate that
although recent policy encourages higher education to be entirely motivated by outcomes  fiscal
targets  and the acquisition of employability skills  the humanities continue to inspire and
aspire beyond these limits. This book is a historically-grounded and theoretically-informed
analysis of the value of the humanities within the context of the market.
