About this product
Product Information
Jonathan Culler, an extremely lucid commentator and much admired in the field of literary theory, offers here discerning insights into such theories as the nature of language and meaning, and examines such issues as whether literature is a form of self-expression or a method of appeal to an audience. Concise yet thorough, Literary Theory outlines the ideas behind a number of major schools: deconstruction, semiotics, postcolonial theory, and structuralism, among others. Shedding light on everything from literature and social identity, to poetry, poetics, and rhetoric, Literary Theory: A Very Short Introduction is a welcome guide for all lovers of literature.

Reviews
"Jonathan Culler has always been about the best person around at explaining literary theory without oversimplifying it or treating it with polemical bias. Literary Theory: A Very Short Introduction is an exemplary work in this genre."--J. Hillis Miller, University of California, Irvine "An impressive and engaging feat of condensation...the avoidance of the usual plod through schools and approaches allows the reader to get straight to the heart of the crucial issue for many students, which is: why are they studying literary theory in the first place'...an engaging and lively book."--Patricia Waugh, University of Durham "It is impossible to imagine a clearer treatment of the subject, or one that is, within the given limits of length, more comprehensive. Culler has always been remarkable for his expository skills, and here he has found exactly the right method and tone for his purposes."--Frank Kermode "This is a very readably, useful text for Intro to Theory/Criticism course. I've used this before and it works well to introduce students to recent theory and issues in literary study."--David Fine, California State University "This is an excellent short introduction. I especially like Prof. Culler's decision to tell a story about theory rather than mechanically outlining schools of criticism."--Dr. Tamara Harvey, University of Southern Mississippi, "Jonathan Culler has always been about the best person around at explaining literary theory without oversimplifying it or treating it with polemical bias.
