This book on English literature focuses on delineating the history and development of literary theory, right from Aristotle's Poetics to the emergence of New Criticism. The book contextualises this progress in literary theory within historical epochs, philosophical schools, cultural and political movements, as well as social realities. The emergence of ideas and theories in the field have been sufficiently analysed, giving space to the conflicts and concerns present in literary theory, as how they have been evaluated by different theorists through the ages.
It is hoped that the relevant, up-to-date and incisive information of the book is well appreciated by the readers. |
