By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: United States of America; University of Minnesota Press, 2008.Description: xii, 234 p.: 24 cmISBN:
  • 9780816654475
Subject(s): LOC classification:
  • DUCE PN94.E2
Summary: This concise and lucid volume offers a satisfying survey of all the major theories, from structuralism in the 1960s to deconstruction today, that have made academic criticism both intriguing and off-putting to the outsider. Literary Theory has the kind of racy readability that one associates more often with English critics who have set their faces resolutely against theory. It’s not just a brilliant polemical essay; it’s also a remarkable feat of condensation, explication, and synthesis.
