Since its publication in 1990, "Critical Terms for Literary Study"
has become a landmark introduction to the work of literary
theory--giving tens of thousands of students an unparalleled
encounter with what it means to do theory and criticism.
Significantly expanded, this new edition features six new chapters
that confront, in different ways, the growing understanding of
literary works as cultural practices.
These six new chapters are "Popular Culture," "Diversity,"
"Imperialism/Nationalism," "Desire," "Ethics," and "Class," by John
Fiske, Louis Menand, Seamus Deane, Judith Butler, Geoffrey Galt
Harpham, and Daniel T. O'Hara, respectively. Each new essay adopts
the approach that has won this book such widespread acclaim: each
provides a concise history of a literary term, critically explores
the issues and questions the term raises, and then puts theory into
practice by showing the reading strategies the term permits.
Exploring the concepts that shape the way we read, the essays
combine to provide an extraordinary introduction to the work of
literature and literary study, as the nation's most distinguished
scholars put the tools of critical practice vividly to use.
