Literary Theory Av Terry (Lancaster University) Eagleton

A quarter of a century on from its original publication, <i>Literary Theory: An Introduction</i> still conjures the subversion, excitement and exoticism that characterized theory through the 1960s and 70s, when it posed an unprecedented challenge to the literary establishment. Eagleton has added a new preface to this anniversary edition to address more recent developments in literary studies, including what he describes as ¿the growth of a kind of anti-theory¿, and the idea that literary theory has been institutionalized. Insightful and enlightening, <i>Literary Theory: An Introduction</i> remains the essential guide to the field.<br/><ul><li><br/></li><li>25th Anniversary Edition of Terry Eagleton¿s classic introduction to literary theory<br/></li><li>First published in 1983, and revised in 1996 to include material on developments in feminist and cultural theory<br/></li><li>Has served as an inspiration to generations of students and teachers<br/></li><li
