20th Century Western Literary Theory

Literary Theory:An Introduction

Eagleton is a leading figure in international literary theory, renowned for his creativity and critical thinking. This book offers a systematic introduction and critique of 20th-century Western literary theory for the general reader. He traces the complex 20th-century revolution in Western literary theory, originating from Russian Formalism, through three main lines of development: formalism, structuralism, and poststructuralism, and from phenomenology, hermeneutics, reception aesthetics, and psychoanalysis. He offers an in-depth analysis of their origins and evolution, as well as their problems and limitations. This new edition includes a new "Twenty-fifth Anniversary Preface," which offers fresh reflections on the development of literary theory.
