The Rebirth of American Literary Theory and Criticism : Scholars Discuss Intellectual Origins and Turning Points Hardback
by H. Aram Veeser
Part of the Anthem symploke Studies in Theory series
Hardback
Description
The interviewees of this volume fall into three groups: the main players who brought about the rise of theory (Fish, Gallop, Spivak, Bhabha); a younger group of post-theorists (Bérubé, Dimock, Nealon, Warren); the anti-critique theorists (Felski); and new order theorists (Puchner, Wolfe).
They discuss elemental questions, such as trying to grasp what was logic and what was rhetoric; trying to see down the road while fog and turmoil held visibility to arm’s length; and trying to pick legible meanings out of the cultural blanket of deafening noise.
Theorists were not only good thinkers but also pioneers who were seeking profound transformations.
