More copies of this ISBN:The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticismby Vincent B Leitch
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism presents a staggeringly varied collection of the most influential critical statements from the classical era to the present day. Edited by scholars and teachers whose interests range from the history of poetics to postmodernism, from classical rhetoric to eriture feminine, and from the social construction of gender to the machinery of academic superstardom, The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism promises to become the standard anthology in its field.<P>The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism offers nearly twice the number of selections in other leading anthologies and more twentieth-century selections than any other text (including anthologies devoted solely to the twentieth century). Book News Annotation:This welcome addition to the Norton anthologies binds the writings
from 148 authors—among them Gorgias of Leontini, Plato, Aristotle,
Horace, Longinus, Quintilian, Dante, Corneille, Dryden, Aphra Behn,
Vico, Wollstonecraft, Coleridge, Poe, Baudelaire, Lukacs, Heidegger,
Gramsci, Barthes, Raymond Williams, Haraway, Hebdige, hooks, Judith
Butler, and the most recent theorist, Stuart Moulthrop. Writers are
arranged according to linear time, but can be found in an alternative
table of contents under movements (e.g., cultural studies,
deconstruction and poststructuralism, queer theory); genres (poetry,
novel, etc.); historical periods, and within a section called "Issues
and Topics" (e.g., the body, authorship, the canon, narrative,
representation and realism, the modern). Each author is substantially
and substantively introduced, and then provided with a bibliography.
Issues of race, nationality, class, gender, and sexuality are well-
represented, but those of species and (dis)ability, nearly absent. A
necessary reader and money-saver for the English graduate student.
