Literary theory: a very short introduction

---

What is literary theory? Is there a relationship between literature and culture? These are some of questions addressed by Jonathan Culler. Uses easy-to-grasp examples to outline the ideas behind schools of criticism that can otherwise be quite daunting, such as deconstruction, semiotics, and postcolonial theory. He explains "theory" not by describing warring "schools" but by sketching key "moves" that theory has encouraged, and by speaking directly about the implications of theory for thinking about literature, human identity, and the power of language.
