English studies have become the scene of the intense controversy with Marxism, feminism, deconstruction and the many varieties of structuralism all claiming to offer new insights into literature. In this book eight critics (John Holloway, Gabriel Josipovici, Cedric Watts, Wayne Booth, Robert Pattison, Anthony Thorlby, Roger Scruton, and Laurence Lerner) respond to the new movements, united by a refusal to abandon their trust in reason, the possibility of meaning and the need for value judgments. The result is a lively and humane book which offers new insights into literary theory and into particular works. The contributors, while taking the new schools of criticism seriously, often disagree with them, offering serious discussion on the value of structuralism and the merits of many of its practitioners.

Condición: Gut. 218 p. Leicht vergilbt, sonst sehr guter Zustand / Slightly yellowed, otherwise in very good condition. - Literary criticism has recently become the scene of intense controversy. Marxism, feminism, hermeneutics, deconstructionism and the many varieties of structuralism all claim to offer us new insights into literature, and fierce denunciations of older schools abound. In this book eight distinguished critics Wayne Booth, John Holloway, Gabriel Josipovici, Laurence Lerner, Robert Pattison, Roger Scruton, Anthony Thorlby and Cedric Watts respond to the present situation. All are interested in the new movements, though they differ among themselves on the value of structuralism and the merits of many of its practitioners. What unites them is a refusal to abandon their trust in reason, the possibility of meaning, and the need for value judgements. From this basis the ideas of prominent figures, particularly Barthes and Genette, are re-examined; specific essays discuss the application of modern critical techniques to the works of major authors, including Sophocles, Proust, Trollope and Kafka. The result is a lively and humane book which offers insights into both literary theory and particular works. It takes the new schools of criticism seriously and asks what they can offer, but is not afraid to disagree with them, sometimes fundamentally. Its constant concern is to offer serious discussion, and to avoid polarized simplifications.
