The State of Theory by Richard Bradford (9780415073240)

Description - The State of Theory by Richard Bradford

Since the early 1960s the academic certainties of "traditional" literary studies have been challenged by techniques and perspectives borrowed from other disciplines. And this so-called "crisis" in English studies is now being complicated by the recent changes in the institutional structure of education. This collection provides an overview of how critical theory operates in practice and a guide to "the state of theory" today. Topics discussed include: gender, race, the gothic, the value of student "theory guides", and the impact of theory on teaching practice, and the future for theory in our English departments.
