this book covers various themes on literary criticism - By: , 11 Dec 2000
Modern Criticism & Theory is a book which covers various themes of literary criticism in great depth. The content is separated into sections relevant to Structuralism, Post-structuralism, Psychoanalysis, Ideology, Feminism, Hermeneutics & Reader Response theory. Many well known & academic writers have included essays in this text that are suitable for the study of literary criticism at university level although anyone interested in reading about theories of literature & their relevance to other sciences will find this text a riveting read. Each essay is approximately 20-30 pages long & should be read in bursts rather than whole sections in one sitting. Each essay also has a section at the beggining with notes about the author. This text is informative & interesting. Enjoy & learn something new.
