Modern Literary Criticism and Theory

by M. A. R. Habib

"This book provides an account of modern criticism and theory. It provides a historical survey of the various modes of literary criticism developed in the twentieth century. It not only provides the larger historical contexts of modern critical works, but also engages in close readings of some of the major and commonly taught texts offering clear, detailed, and philosophically informed explanations of difficult works."--Jacket.
