Interpreting the text: A critical introduction to the theory and practice of literary interpretation

by K.M. Newton

This lucid and cogent introductory study begins by discussing the origins of interpretative criticism, especially its emergence as the dominant form of literary criticism in Anglo-American New Criticism. It goes on to consider the relation between literary interpretation and hermeneutics, and the attacks on interpretation as a critical method by traditional, formalist, structuralist, and post-struturalist critics.
