Association of Literary Scholars and Critics

Association of Literary Scholars and Critics

The Association of Literary Scholars and Critics (ALSC) was organized in 1994 by a group of conservative senior scholars who felt that, given the continuing interest in literature among a large number of students, teachers, and educated general readers, there ought to exist in America an organization devoted to literary studies in addition to the MLA, the principal professional association for scholars of language and literature. Among the founding members were Robert Alter, Joseph Brodsky, Denis Donoghue, John Hollander, Alfred Kazin, Mary Lefkowitz, Richard Poirier, Christopher Ricks and Roger Shattuck.
