Synopsis:
A concise, witty, and entertaining introduction to the seemingly impenetrable world of modern literary
Review:
"This book shaped the reception of theory in Britain for a generation." Times Higher Education Supplement
Praise for the First Edition of Literary Theory
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 ... Stimulating and entertaining.
Sunday Times
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.
New York Times Book Review
A polemical, amusing and very informative introduction ... indispensable.
Jonathan Culler
"The best handbook to those arcane ics and isms, both for academy members and for any civilians who, having heard the distant roar of professorial cannons, might wonder what the skirmishing is about."
Voice Literary Supplement
