Description
A revolution took place in literary criticism in the 1980s. In a series of trenchant case-studies, "The Critical Decade" examines that revolution and assesses its consequences. Nicholas Tredell analyses deconstruction and poststructuralism and investigates the relations between literature, society and politics. He discusses Jacques Derrida, Roland Barthes, Jean-Paul Sartre, Raymond Williams, Terry Eagleton, Perry Anderson, Jonathan Culler, Robert Scholes, Stanley Fish, J. Hillis Miller, Edward Said and Frederic Jameson. He also explores modern feminist theory. Wide-ranging and informed, lively and controversial, "The Critical Decade" is an essential contribution to the cultural debates of the 1990s.
