Modern British and Irish Criticism and Theory offers the student
and general reader a comprehensive, critically informed overview of
the development of literary and cultural studies from the
nineteenth century to the present day. Beginning with Coleridge and
Arnold, examining the contribution of cultural commentators and
novelists, and considering the institutionalisation of literary
criticism in the universities of England, Ireland, Scotland, and
Wales, the book addresses in detailed, accessible and rigorous
essays the rise and significance of literary and cultural studies.
Nearly thirty essays contribute to an understanding of the practice
of literary studies presenting the reader with a perceptive series
of critical interventions which, themselves, engage in the very
locations from which criticism and theory have emerged. A further
reading list accompanies each chapter. Key Features * Breadth of
coverage from Coleridge through Virginia Woolf to Raymond Williams
and Terry Eagleton; and from the 'Cambridge School' to
Post-structuralism and Postcolonial theory. * Focus on the history
of modern criticism. * Accessibly written. * Theoretical debates
are set in full historical, cultural and philosophical contexts.
