Publisher Description

What is Literary Theory? What is the relationship between literature and culture? In fact, what is Literature, and does it matter? These are the sorts of questions addressed by Jonathan Culler in a book which steers a clear path through a subject often perceived to be impenetrable. It offers insights into theories about the nature of language and meaning, whether literature is a form of self-expression or a method of appeal to an audience, and outlines the ideas behind a number of
different schools: deconstruction, semiotics, postcolonial theory, and structuralism amongst them. - ;What is Literary Theory? Is there a relationship between literature and culture? In fact, what is Literature, and does it matter?
