Very Short Introduction Literary Theory, 2nd Edition - Culler, J.
What is literary theory? These are some of questions addressed by Jonathan Culler in this new edition of his highly popular Very Short Introduction. Is there a relationship between literature and culture?
He explains theory not by describing warring schools but by sketching key moves that theory has encouraged, and by speaking directly about the implications of theory for thinking about literature, human identity, and the power of language.In this Second Edition, Culler includes much new material, including a discussion of the death of theory, a look at topics such as trauma theory, ecocriticism, and the link Culler, an extremely lucid commentator and much admired in the field of literary theory, uses easy-to-grasp examples as he outlines the ideas behind schools of criticism that can otherwise be quite daunting, such as deconstruction, semiotics, and postcolonial theory.
