2012
Book
Abstract: Addressing the development of literary criticism and theory within the cultural, ideological, historical and institutional parameters of their growth, this volume provides simultaneously a stimulating introduction to theoretical engagement in the humanities, while also offering lucidly written critical interventions into current theory and criticism. Furthermore, while remaining aware of the importance of various contexts within which criticism has grown, the essays also concern themselves with the cross-fertilization between the various academic and intellectual cultures under consideration. With more than 100 essays from an internationally renowned body of scholars, all of whom are recognized experts in their respective fields, The Edinburgh Encyclopaedia of Modern Criticism and Theory offers student readers, scholars and libraries a unique, challenging and indispensable reference guide.
