Softcover. Condition: Gut. Auflage: First Edition. 249 p. Berieben, leicht bestoßen, leicht vergilbt, sonst guter Zustand / Rubbed, slightly scuffed, slightly yellowed, otherwise in good condition. - This challenging volume is made up of thirteen essays, most of them published here for the first time, that address important aspects of contemporary literary theory. A group of internationally recognized scholars and critics, the contributors treat such topics as the future of deconstruction, the new historicism, reception theory, sociology and literature, modernism and postmodernism, Marxism and literature, feminist literary theory, psychoanalytic literary theory, and the relevance of race and imperialism to the study of literature. Taken together with Peter Collier and Helga Geyer-Ryan's ambitious introduction, the essays demonstrate the continuing vigor of avant-garde criticism as well as its ability to confront and even exploit its perceived limitations. Anyone concerned with contemporary trends in literary theory, comparative literature, linguistics, philosophy, cultural studies, and women's studies will find Literary Theory Today essential reading.
