The Continuum Encyclopedia of Modern Criticism and Theory

by Julian Wolfreys

The Continuum Encyclopedia of Modern Criticism and Theory offers the student and scholar of literary and cultural studies the most comprehensive, single volume guide to the history and development of modern criticism in the humanities. In a clearly organized format, this major reference work takes the reader through introductions to historically influential philosophers, literary critics, schools of thought and movements from Spinoza and Descartes to Phenomenology and Heidegger, before turning to its three principal areas of critical attention: Europe, North America and Great Britain.

[Adam Lubin]

we'll call this a long-term project. for all my time in ethics and impressively useless metaphysics, I left my four years severely lacking in any of the authors found here, leaving me pretty inept at dealing with literary/cultural criticism.

Another Druid Hills purch: $4 by the time it was all over? Really now. Useful, wordy, boring, and not. Ah, academe.

Actually I bought it mostly to keep on my shelf at Cox.

Frowned at. FYI.
