Modern European Criticism and Theory offers the reader a
comprehensive critical overview of the widespread and profound
contest of ideas within European 'theory'. The book focuses
primarily on the thought of major voices in poetics, philosophy,
linguistics, and psychoanalysis, as well as in literary and
cultural studies from the Enlightenment to the present day.
Examining how conceptions of subjectivity, identity and gender have
been questioned, the more than 50 essays written by acknowledged
experts in their fields critically assess the ways in which we
think, see, and act in the world, as well as the ways in which we
represent such thought psychologically, politically, and
culturally. A further reading list accompanies each chapter. Key
Features * Breadth of coverage from Descartes and Spinoza to
Derrida, Lyotard and Zizek; from Phenomenology to French Feminisms
and Psychoanalytic Literary Criticism. * Focus on the history of
modern criticism. * Accessibly written. * Theoretical debates are
set in full historical, cultural and philosophical contexts.
