Bringing his perennially popular course to the page, Yale
University Professor Paul H. Fry offers in this welcome book a
guided tour of the main trends in twentieth-century literary
theory. At the core of the book's discussion is a series of
underlying questions: What is literature, how is it produced, how
can it be understood, and what is its purpose?
Fry engages with the major themes and strands in
twentieth-century literary theory, among them hermeneutics, modes
of formalism, semiotics and Structuralism, deconstruction,
psychoanalytic approaches, Marxist and historicist approaches,
theories of social identity, Neo-pragmatism and theory. By
incorporating philosophical and social perspectives to connect
these many trends, the author offers readers a coherent overall
context for a deeper and richer reading of literature.
