"Where does the current explosion in literary theory come from? What earlier theoretical movements does it grow out of, bounce off, react against?" "This introductory history homes in on the essential principles governing the major movements in literary theory, unfolding a comprehensive 'story' with all its jumps and swings and switches.".

"In this volume, the author looks behind particular critical judgements and interpretations in order to present a clear explanation of the core underlying positions. He explains the internal rationale of each position, together with its derivation and repercussions. At the same time, he shows how 'literary theory' has taken on very different roles in different periods. He relates these different roles to particular socio-political settings, institutional contexts and creative practices."--BOOK JACKET.
