Isbn: 9780816612413 - literary theory: an introduction (26 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. This concise and lucid volume offers a satisfying survey of all the major theories, from structuralism in the 1960s to deconstruction today, that have made academic criticism both intriguing and off-putting to the outsider. --New York Times Book Review Literary Theory has the kind of racy readability that one associates more often with English critics who have set their faces resolutely against theory. It's not just a brilliant polemical essay; it's also a remarkable feat of condensation, explication, and synthesis. --Sunday Times (London) A concise guide to the most interesting and mystifying trends in the study of literature over the last fifty years. --The Nation This classic work covers all of the major movements in literary studies in this century. Noted for its clear, engaging style and unpretentious treatment, Literary Theory has become the introduction of choice for anyone interested in learning about the world of contemporary literary thought. On the twenty-fifth anniversary of Literary Theory's debut, Terry Eagleton reflects on the state of theory in academia today, the growth of antitheory (itself an interesting theoretical subject), its common-if problematic-place among survey coursework, and theory's continued relevance to scholarly pursuits. In this contemporary, retrospective moment, as scholars critically analyze the incredibly broad impact of the theoretical movement, Literary Theory remains an essential initiation to the intellectually stimulating world of theoretical analysis. Terry Eagleton is John Edward Taylor professor of English literature at the University of Manchester. His numerous books include The Meaning of Life, How to Read a Poem, and After Theory.…

Paperback. Zustand: Gut. VIII, 244 p. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - leicht berieben, sonst ein gutes Exemplar / slightly rubbed, otherwise a good copy. - Literature departments at colleges and universities recently have been the scene of battles between the prevailing practices of literary criticism and controversial new ideas imported from Europe with strange-sounding names like hermeneutics, semiotics, reception theory, structuralism, and deconstruction. These ideas presuppose a knowledge of anthropology, linguistics, psychoanalysis, and Marxism and raise questions about the nature and status of literature, reading, and criticism. Although these issues have far-ranging implications for the study of the humanities in general, they are complex and discussion has been confined to a small circle of specialists. Here Terry Eagleton offers a concise, witty, and entertaining introduction to the seemingly impenetrable world of modern literary theory, especially designed for those interested in but with little knowledge of the subject. Ranging from Coleridge and Arnold to Leavis, Eliot, and Empson, Eagleton first traces the rise of English as an academic discipline and explains what the word literature has come to mean. He then lays out the main features of the major camps in modern literary theory and discusses the work of, among others, Husserl, Heidegger, Saussure, Jakobson, Foucault, Kristeva, and Derrida. Throughout, his aim is not only to introduce current theoretical arguments but also to persuade readers not to be intimidated by theory itself since no discussion of literature can be neutral. The fact that Eagletons own views are so openly and lucidly argued here makes this book a contribution to the debate it covers. In a field notorious for its jargon, this book is written clearly and engagingly; its style might be described as tough but unpretentious. Among the many recent or forthcoming books that provide an introduction to literary theory, this one stands out for its range and simplicity, as well as its devotion to a particular cause or ideology. I know of no other book that would be more appropriate to assign to undergraduates who wanted to become familiar, in one day, with what contemporary theorists stand for. Lawrence Lipking, Northwestern University / Contents Preface Introduction: What is Literature? 1 The Rise of English 2 Phenomenology, Hermeneutics, Reception Theory 3 Structuralism and Semiotics 4 Post-Structuralism 5 Psychoanalysis Conclusion: Political Criticism Notes Bibliography Index.
