Overview
The study of literary theory has tended to concentrate on very recent developments. This volume, however, establishes both a sense of the continuities from Plato to the present day as well as the discontinuities. These are presented through comparisons and contrasts across the entire field of critical history. Divided into five parts and covering representation; subjectivity; form, structure and system; history and society; morality, class and ideology, each section contains several thematic sections in which extracts from different writers and periods are juxtaposed.
