Ralph Cohen founded New Literary History in 1969 and remained its
editor until 2012, when it was widely seen as one of the major
journals of literary theory. Cohen's generic method can help us
understand many forms of artistic endeavour, from poetry and
fiction to films and television series. In Theory Now, Edward
Tomarken, a former student of Ralph Cohen, presents the rudiments
of Cohen's method by using popular movies and television programmes
to illustrate and explain theory essays of the past twenty years.
Avoiding the jargon associated with the discipline, Tomarken uses
the language of the general reader. The present book is intended
both for undergraduates and for anyone interested in film and
television. It combines close analysis of the chosen artistic works
with a lifetime's experience of the innovative and ground-breaking
insights of Ralph Cohen. The final aim of the study is to show that
literary and artistic knowledge is not different from any other
form of knowledge and that therefore aesthetic comprehension
applies to all aspects of human culture.
