This volume offers a comprehensive account of modern literary criticism, presenting the field as part of an ongoing historical and intellectual tradition. Featuring thirty-nine specially commissioned chapters from an international team of esteemed contributors, it fills a large gap in the market by combining the accessibility of single-authored selections with a wide range of critical perspectives. The volume is divided into four parts. Part One covers the key philosophical and aesthetic origins of literary theory, while Part Two discusses the foundational movements and thinkers in the first half of the twentieth century. Part Three offers introductory overviews of the most important movements and thinkers in modern literary theory, and Part Four looks at emergent trends and future directions.

Misleading title

Reviewed in India on 20 July 2018

Verified Purchase

Just takes you through the history of it all. I bought this book expecting the different authors and an elaboration on their works or at least, their works/essays in it, but it doesn't do that. 2 stars for good quality cover and delivery etc, it wasn't useful for me

Clearly one of the best books available on the subject. Excellent coverage of the everexpanding field of literary theory. And the best part is the price: truly student friendly!

Book arrived in poor condition

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2019

Verified Purchase

The content of the book is a really interesting and broad introduction to literary theory, but when my copy arrived the spine had literally snapped within a few minutes of reading it. It wasn't just a broken spine, but the binding fell completely apart in several places and pages were falling out within ten minutes of reading the book. This is understandably a large book, but books of a similar size and binding have fared much better and have remained bound perfectly despite much more reading. Very disappointed.

Better than Norton

Reviewed in Canada on 24 February 2014

Verified Purchase

Clear and concise, yet detailed, with helpful suggestions for further reading. What I especially enjoyed about this text was its entry on trauma theory, which I have found to be lacking from other critical anthologies. I recommend this volume to students of theory who are looking for the most up-to-the-minute survey of the critical landscape.

A Mixed Bag

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 June 2016

Verified Purchase

This anthology is a mixed bag. Although prone to over-simplification, some essays are enlightening and stimulates thought. Others are murky waters: pieces that move within small circles of contemporary or outmodeded jargon (e.g. "Freud and psychoanalysis"). Others again (e.g. "Marxists aesthetics") are little more than exercises in name dropping. The understanding of Plato is - rightfully - praised elsewhere. Symptomatically though, that same essay contains a presentation of Aristotle which is plain wrong.
